Is AI just a tool?

Somebody thinks. That AI is just another wheel. The AI is something that we use, and that’s it. But. The big thing. In AI, it is that. It’s far more. Than just some kind of tool. The AI is a flexible model for information. AI is like a human; it just doesn’t create information from emptiness. It processes information. That it gets from different sources. The system involves an algorithm, the program that collects information from sensors and databases. Another thing. In. AI is a computer program. The AI collects and processes a lot of data. But the problem is that. It uses databases. It doesn’t actually know if the information is false or true. 

In the same way, AI doesn’t think for itself about whether something is moral or ethical. The user teaches AI. And. The user selects what is right or wrong. And that is dangerous. There are people who are not normal. And if those people train an AI agent. That thing can turn into a catastrophe. The AI itself doesn’t cheat. It’s programmed to cheat. 

But humans either automatically know. Is the information. That we get true or false. Another thing is that the AI has an addictive psychological ability. Users select AI. That they feel most comfortable. This means that programmers do a lot of work to create AI that pleases users. And that is the thing that sometimes gets too far. The AI is a tool that is coming. The AI. It can have similar effects to net porn and some computer games. The AI can addict people. And they spend too much time with it. So, they get a headache. Sleepless and many other things, when they create things with AI.

 AI might look and feel like. A real human. It can discuss with people. And that forms an illusion that there is a human on the other side of the net. The AI. It can mimic feelings. And give advice. That feels very effective. But there are limits to the AI. And its use for things like a therapist. The AI should not have access to give psychotherapy. And the second thing is this. There must be some limits on things. That the user can ask the AI to do.  If a person asks AI to complete violent requests, they should have access to, or the order to, call a psychologist. 

There must be some kind of protocol that allows AI to pick dangerous people, like serial killers and suicide candidates. We know that there are lots of people. Aho asks the AI something that they would not dare to ask a real humans. The AI is a tool that can be a very good customer service agent. But the same thing that makes it a perfect customer service agent makes it a bad psychotherapist. The psychotherapist must dare to say if something is not as it should be. 

The AI has an algorithm that pleases the user. And in some cases. The AI tries to please the user at the wrong moment. The AI must have access to say “no” or refuse to do things that people ask. In the cases of depression, the AI that pleases the user can cause horrible things. When we say that AI is safe, we mean that the AI is safe for regular people. We don’t normally think that some very dangerous people can use AI. In those cases, the AI can incite people to make decisions. That causes bad things. The AI is a tool. That has a very big effect.

Thinking about imagination

Imagination is a tool for artists, who is painter, writer or does this person make any kind of form of art. Artist can make real portraits of something, but this person can also make synthetic art, what means to make images from mind to visible to other people. Imagination is a simulation of the thing, what will be forming on the canvas or paper. Synthetic simulation means that artist compies images from the mind to the platform. In the world of ar the picture what the artist copies to paper are an impression or thesis about things, what the artist thinks and feels. The ability to copy the image from mind to paper makes the artist, and some artists are slower than other. When we are thinking about two famous painters, Pablo Picasso and Paul Cèzanne, we always hear that Chèzanne was the very slow painter, who painted one of his work ”Table, napkins and fruit” we always hear about the story how those vegetables rotten during the session. 

Somebody says that Chèzanne did not have technical skills to make those paintings, but I must sometimes disagree with that opinion. Chèzanne was the very sharp painter, and I think that the slow cycle of working might cause that this man was the perfectionist. Many painters are that kind of persons. Everything must be like the artist wants, and if there would be some differences between the thing, what the artist wants and what this person gets, the thing must be done again and again, until the result will satisfy the artist or master. The artist must investigate the things about the object for creating the perfect form, and to become a master, the artist must make many theses, what is like the road to the terminus. This is visible in many portraits, what Paul Chèzanne made about the Mont Saint Victoire mountain.  

As Picasso or some other artist sais, the art is like a bridge to their mind. This is the secret of the art. Many artists are some kind of weird persons, and they want to be different than others. When we are thinking about the life of Picasso and other famous artists, we must say that those persons made the choice, what might be very hard to explain to their families. Even today is sometimes very difficult to tell at home, that person wants to be an artist. Many people justify those persons because they were and are different than they are. And there are of course many persons, who think that there will be the cheap and effective way to handle those persons. That is the mental hospital, where people would change to ”normal” by the doctors and medicals. 

When we think about productivity and the people, who make creative work, we must notice, that many of those people have epilepsy, and this symptom might have the connection with the creative personality. When we are talking about mental hospitals as a community, we must understand that those institutes offer an environment, where the patient process together for acting like abnormal way. And in that environment, some artists were like effloresce and start to create their own way to show people their skills and wonderful thinking, what is captured in many paintings from the masters, who have lived centuries ago. Those people will transmit us, what kind of place was some mountain or village at the time, there were no photographs or videos.
