Why we can't and shouldn't replace human creativity and interaction with AI
Jacques and Jennifer talk about the thieving incursions that artificial intelligence (AI) is making into our lives, and the increasing rule and dominance of big tech.They argue that human creating processes in the real world are important for both producers and audiences, and for the social back-and-forth that happens in our human world. This cannot be replaced by AI mimicry of 'end products'.Furthermore, with all the fakery put out on the net, it is increasingly difficult for people to understand what's going on, and AI plays a central role in undermining our social and ecological life.In the context of the 'evil triangle' of (1) big tech and AI, (2) turbo charged capitalism/ neo-liberalism, and (3) managerialism, the push back against AI is more important than ever.NB: Jennifer and Jacques begin the program with a few words about their dear friend, Lew Zipin, who recently passed away.ReferencesWatch this space
