“AI to stop water pollution before it happens” – BBC article this morning…

You can see where this is all heading right?
Next set of headlines will be:

AI to brush your teeth before you even get out of bed!
AI to do your laundry while you’ve still got your clothes on!
AI to end the war in Ukraine even before it started! (I suppose we all thought it had already started?)

AI to show up on your doorstep with the perfect baby for you, even before you thought about having a baby!
AI to change your children’s nappy even before they have done a poo!

…. and so on and so forth

Very similar to ‘Blockchain’ a few years ago, which quickly became to remedy to everything and the ultimate sales pitch:

Blockchain fresh flower shop! (where you can buy the freshest blockchain daisies!). You get there it will be as ordinary as any other bouquet of daisies…

Yes, advancement of tech and AI is all good. But for goodness sake! It ain’t here to solve every human ill! Ultimately, it will amplify it, as humans do with everything we invent: how can we use it to demonstrate superiority?! how can it help us win more wars! kill each other quicker and better. Instead of: how can we use AI to level up societies across the world, so that everyone has access to clean water, electricity based on the most efficient source they have e.g. solar in hot climes, how can we educate everyone and give all easy access to education etc. oops! that just socialist rabble right? I’ll shut up now!!

an everyday professional wondering (as many others do daily) what all the animosity is all about? we all came with nothing (as babies), didn’t choose where we popped out and we will all leave (when we die) with nothing.
