As the saying goes - there are finer fishes in the ocean then ever been caught. Likewise, there is way too much human experiences than ever been documented, way too much knowledge then ever been published, countless layers of emotions then ever been fathomed. Worth mentioning, as above knowledge and experiences never made their way to big data with which machines are being trained in principle.Machine intelligence may amuse one, may even trick one, for
a moment or two for sure, may serve the worldly purpose to much extent as well,
but not going to surpass human intelligence (not in terms of weather
prediction) and instinct any time sooner, neither fulfil their quest and
expectations. Needs of human intellect is more than ever possibly to be
fulfilled by machine or AI, at least not in near term.
History is dotted with precedents. Take a look at art for
instance, photography and digital media were perceived to have immense
disruptive potential, and they actually disrupted creativity and aesthetics,
but never could kill art, rather made art more stronger. Take example of
internet, it had potential to disrupt knowledge and it did, but could never
uproot academia, rather it strengthened it. Take for instance cars, there was
technically no going back to non-motorised vehicle, but bicycle prevailed and
rather going stronger. When there came polyester, there was no going back to
handloom, but it left people longing even more for cotton. Likewise the advent
of genetically modified food and reactionary human quest for organic produce.
And robots that could never render manpower obsolete.
As human needs and reactions to external events are way
complex, hence their self organising tendency around any new disruption is also
evident. Human being prefer to dwell at the borderline of existence, to have a
chance to immerse oneself in experience in one instance (sometimes driven by
technology) and withdraw in private seclusion in next moment. Essentially
delocalised and never to be confined in one orbit.
Human quest remains unchallenged, as there is no technology
which can quench their thirst, their quest for excellence, and search for
newness. The best thing one can do in such times of technological flux is to
embrace the change and keep calm!
