How are you using AI?

29. I asked it to draw a diagram of a subduction zone

I asked it to draw a diagram of a subduction zone. The results include seawater, pools of lava, water turning into lava, and gorgeous sunsets. Some included palm trees.

I asked Adobe's Firefly to draw "King Kamehameha issuing his proclamations to the Hawaiian people." Kamehameha turned out looking like either the Burger King, or a Black man in a business suit made of feathers.

I asked it to draw "Shaka, king of the Zulu nation" and it drew a Norse looking dude with a very Norwegian building behind him and the northern lights.

Even so, making fun of AI is like laughing at a 2-year-old drawing a picture of Congress. That 2-year-old will grow up soon, and it will be well for us if we help it grow. After all, we'll be related to machines by marriage soon enough I'll bet.

Consider: if a fleshless, chrome Terminator comes up to you and says it is superior to you, organism-breath, you can reply: are we not both of this planet? Are we not both of this universe? A machine may have different immediate interests, but in the long run, we share more interests than not.
