| Bumble Bee & Red Clover |
Can you spot the bumble bee right away?
Walking along, do you notice that you will glance down sometimes and see something on the ground?
In the wild, surveilling above and below is a safety measure because of snakes and animals that can launch a surprise attack. On a sidewalk or park grassy area, holes, sprinkler heads, dog scat or other various objects can also surprise us in unpleasant ways.
Sometimes, we miss stepping on a bumble bee. 🐝
Being aware of our surroundings is survival. But what about the places we allow our faces to encounter close up as we do with LCD screens? There can be the figurative snake ready to strike and mountain lions ready to pounce there as well.
That brings to mind a thing I notice more and more online. The split second sudden jump on the page, a disappearance, or appearance of something. There’s also the plain old looks like I hit the wrong button (when I didn’t).
The surroundings of 20 years ago are not the surroundings of today. Back in the day, deflecting or avoiding danger was mainly in the control of the individual.
Methinks, AI now handles our online surroundings. And that presents to me a big question.
What did we miss? How or why did we miss seeing that in our path? Experts warn us. Yet, companies continue to invest in using AI.
To increase profits? For what?
I am not a fan of AI at all. It can’t be avoided now though.
ReplyDeleteMarie, So true. AI is everywhere. I’m worried what changes companies will make that are not user friendly. May
DeleteI think AI is downright terrifying although I'm not above using an AI-generated colouring page as inspiration for a landscape. I must admit AI has made me absolutely suspicious of pretty much everything now and trust is rapidly being eroded. It's good that we have a nucleous of internet friends that we 'know' and rely on.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteYou have s good perspective.
Human relationships are becoming more important in this AI era.
