Yuval Noah Harari

Everything we've produced over thousands of years, it eats all of these cultural products, digests it, and starts producing its own new stuff. But we still haven't figured out ourselves in our bodies, our brains, our minds, our psychology. So an AI based on our flawed understanding of ourselves is a very dangerous thing. I think that we need, first of all, to keep developing ourselves.

If for every dollar and every minute that we spend on developing AI, artificial intelligence, we spend another dollar and another minute in developing human consciousness, the human mind will be okay. The danger is that we spend all our effort on developing an AI at a time when we don't understand ourselves. And then letting the AI take over, that's a road to a human catastrophe.

Yes. I mean, you know, I've been writing about AI for, you know, like eight years now and engaged with all these predictions and speculations. And when it actually came, it was much faster and more powerful than I thought it would be. I didn't think that we would have in 2023 an AI that can hold a conversation that you can't know if it's a human being or an AI that can write beautiful texts.

I mean, I read the texts written by AI. And the thing that strikes me most is the coherence. You know, people think, oh, it's nothing. They just take ideas from here and there, words from here and put it. No, it's so coherent. I mean, you read, not sentences, you read paragraphs, you read entire texts, and there is logic.

That's been the secret of politics and religion for thousands of years. And now it's coming with AI.

That's a good question.

I think it is possible. I've seen a lot of examples of AI being told, write like Yuval Noah Harari and what it produces.

I mean, on the level of content of ideas, no. There are things I say, I would never say that. But when it comes to the, you know, I mean, there is, again, the coherence and the quality of writing is such that I say it's unbelievable how good it is. And who knows, in 10 years, in 20 years, maybe it can do better, even according to certain measures on the level of content.
