I am really getting tired of being told that AI everything is 'inevitable' and I just need to learn to accept and use it. What happens when the grid goes down due to all these data centers sucking up all of the electric power and all of these AI dependent people have to learn to think again? In my region there are at least a half dozen new data centers proposed with our electricity demand anticipated to DOUBLE in less than 5 years. Legislature just passed a bill letting the electric utilities to charge us up front to build new capacity generation. Expect we peons to take it in the shorts while the data center builders get tax breaks.
There's something wrong with this reflexive support of new construction at public cost.
There will be a need for people who keep their minds separated from AI. Intuition is not an AI thing, and will become a valuable commodity for decision making in the future.
People who should know better are placing excessive trust in AI output which is only as good as the input.
This is affecting things like the power grid for example, and design of public transportation.
How about those Amish? 😎
