“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We’re nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.”
—Larry Page
If we remove the cost and pain of acquiring skill with passive acceptance of what AI supplies us, we are creating gelatinous minds. That’s the greatest effect of AI. If we let our kids have unfettered access to a tool facilitates passively waiting for answers to be generated for them, we are extinguishing our future.
On this episode we take a look at old school music creation, basically electricity and some overdubbing, but what a wall of sound Queen produced in 1974. Operatic rock, that sophistication comes at price. You need to invest time and energy to create a deep skill set. Queen’s live performance of Seven Seas of Rhye is a shining example.
We also discuss how with the removal of those barriers, things lose value, and people become less motivate to create meaningful, enduring things. That robs our future generations.
