AI and technology, described as a superpower, reshape human thought and values. French philosopher Jacques Ellul warned that once technology is introduced, it evolves on its own, narrowing choices by prioritizing efficiency. Large language models (LLMs) exemplify this shift, altering how thinking is perceived and experienced. Their impact is subtle, but it leads to significant cultural changes and diminished individuality. LLMs create a new environment that influences thought processes seamlessly, raising concerns about ethics and the implications of technology's relentless progression regardless of intent.
AI feels like a superpower that quickly reshapes our thoughts and values. The effortless use of technology narrows our choices in how we engage with the world.
Jacques Ellul recognized that technology evolves autonomously, shaping our lives and values through efficiency. Once a technique exists, it applies relentless pressure for further innovation.
LLMs create an environment that alters the nature of thinking. They introduce seamless changes that are often unnoticed, leading to a flattening of culture and voice.
The evolution of technology doesn't consider ethics; if something can be created, it will be implemented. This relentless advance raises critical ethical concerns for society.
