“What would it mean for humans to live in a world where a large percentage of stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by nonhuman intelligence, which knows how to exploit with superhuman efficiency the weaknesses, biases and addictions of the human mind — while knowing how to form intimate relationships with human beings?” #ScholER

When we turn over the making of content to AI, we create a device that can deliver to us, on demand, at any time, a world that is completely constructed to our own demands, desires and fantasies. Tailor-made to our every whim; highly personalized, on demand and virtually limitless. We will no longer have the shared experience of Shakespeare or even Spielberg. The real world will effectively cease to exist. We will live in a perpetual and never-ending dream world or our own making.

Perhaps as Climate Change makes the planet increasingly uninhabitable. it may be that a fake world is the only place that we find livable. #Digital Wellness 📱🧘
