And now for something just a little bit different...
I blathered on, in a series of blog articles that no one
apparently read, concerning the wonders of artificial intelligence
and how it will transform the world we live in, bring in a glorious
new day and make us all kings and queens in our own domains, etc.,
etc.
Now I want to make a pitch for something that we all need, and
possibly even long for. I am referring, obviously, to artificial
stupidity. But first I have to give you a little background.
Human inferiority
The inferiority of human beings, when compared with machines,
has been well documented. It has even been demonstrated that the
use of machines, and of technology generally, has weakened our race
– intellectually, physically, emotionally, psychologically
and in many other ways.
