How do we stop the idiocy of AI? I am writing an article and my sentence reads “Thousands of people traipsed through the halls of the Louvre” and Microsoft’s spell check breaks in to tell me I’ve made a wrong word choice and should double check because the correct word is “trapped”. Whelp!

This week I sat in on a call regarding adult functional literacy and my immediate thoughts went to the encouragement we receive everywhere for AI to do our reading and writing for us. We don’t realize that we are giving up our thinking skills at the same time and that we are using a mis-taught algorithm with the functional literary of a third grader (most books it learned on are written to a third or fifth grade reading level) to do our thinking and research for us.

As for me and my household…I will stick with my own brain, no matter how frazzled and dysfunctional it feels sometimes. What gets inside my head as learning can’t be taken away from me, but whenever some wealthy person in power decides we don’t need any more knowledge than what they want to feed us, if we have been relying on AI and it’s no longer there or it has effectively burned all the books by taking them away, what dark age will we be in?

Ten chapters polished the first time. Like the artist who said a work is never finished, only abandoned, I could go on tweaking words ad infinitum. How about you?
