AI Ad Nausum
I amsure many will disagree with me but this is where I’m at
This past weekend I encountered more advertisements, more articles, more applications whose focus in on AI. Was I the least bit curious? NO!
There are several things about AI that I have a problem with but since I was inundated with AI thrown at my laptop screen minute after minute, it is the physical feeling I will focus on first. Honestly after being on my laptop for half an hour, i have to say that every time it came up again, I wanted to vomit. it felt very visceral.
It caused me to consider on Sunday if there was a way out of this. I thought about the Space Shuttle Astronauts and the last-minute abort possibility that allowed them on problems related to liftoff that would shoot the crew up and out over the launch and they would presumably parachute back safely away from the doomed launch.
The ads came at me on Facebook, on google, my email inbox, and It made me wonder if there was any escape from this for me or anyone else. After a bit of searching and reading it seems there is no way to opt out of it on google. The anxiety is thicker and heavier. On a side note, the algorithms will no doubt now feed me even more nausea after my searches.
