In a recent conversation with a gentleman at an after hours chamber event, the topic was all about AI.
Does it make technology better? The large tech companies would say so. AI speeds up productivity in allowing computer generated content.
A blog post becomes easier and faster to write. Stumped on how to vary the words in a sentence? Ask AI for suggestions. Magically, the words appear and can be inserted with just a click.
My response to him was, “What about rhetoric?” If we all rely on AI to fill in our sentences, then does all the content become the same? With human generated content the rhetoric is present. With AI, “Does the computer generated content have the same ingenuity as what a human writes?”
E.g. Human generated content | “The energetic fox became friends with the lazy hound.”
E.g. AI generated content | “The fox and the hound are friends.”
Anyway, is E.T. still around to ask?
