HackerNoon hosted a successful event six years after the last one, gathering an engaged audience to discuss humanity in the AI age. The discussion featured a panel addressing vital questions on preserving human qualities amidst AI advancements. Participants shared their daily AI use cases, highlighting brainstorming, research, and ideation. General sentiment was more optimistic than pessimistic concerning AI. The panel emphasized that AI exacerbates existing emotional disconnection rather than creating it, and the importance of real human interactions persists despite technological advancements.
Most people are neutral about AI - but more lean optimistic than pessimistic.
AI doesn't create the problem of emotional disconnection, it only exacerbates it. I'd argue the current pandemic occludes the emotional reality of human interaction.
