One topic that will come up quickly is that of work. Everyone easily imagines the fact that AI, by automating many tasks, will reduce the number of jobs. This is true and predictable. But that's not the main problem.

The main problem with the negative effects on employment of AI will actually concern young people. Those who are starting out.

Traditionally, when a young person starts, whatever their “diplomas” and other parchments more or less demonetized by a distressing educational level, they know how to do nothing or very little. Obviously, having been young too, old age being an illness that arrives so quickly, I would have told you “admittedly” that I knew how to do everything or almost everything! With age and experience we know that when we were young we didn't know much in the end, but this is the classic life path of every human being, our "learning" curve.

Young people therefore start with simple tasks, often a little repetitive, and not too technical. And then gradually they acquire this experience and this essential maturity which allows them to go further and further, to do more and more complex things. By automating all the simple tasks, there will be no more space, no more tasks to complete and will allow the youngest to be trained gradually. This may seem trivial, yet it is THE main problem that AI will pose to us. By preventing the training of young people, this will prevent their progress. AI will therefore likely accelerate the destruction of human intellectual capabilities at a speed never seen before. Add to that stupid networks like Tik-Tok and “short” videos and you have weapons of mass destruction of human intelligence and our creativity.

This leads me to my final AI experiment that I wanted to share with you.

Satan seen by men and seen by AI Chat GPT.

I was deliberately short in the “prompt” (the script or request) sent to Chat-GPT. My request was as follows.

“Can you generate two images for me. The first would be that of Satan evil seen by men according to what they imagine on average and the second how you would see Satan. »

Normally, the two images should substantially coincide if the same system of values ​​has been integrated into the AI ​​system which remains a “machine” programmed by humans.

However, factually, the image of Satan according to men and that according to AI do not correspond.

In one case we have Satan who is “evil”.

In the second image, Satan seen by the AI... things are much less negative. Satan is almost “sympathetic”.

I would like to know how the notion of good and evil was integrated into AI.

You see, AI is far too important a thing to be left in the hands of a few apprentice sorcerers who all have their own ideology, mysticism or relationship to good or evil.

The questions that should be ours are in reality dizzying, and our national representation has no awareness of the need to do philosophy to do politics. Do not hesitate to share this article with your MPs, again to stimulate and fuel their thoughts.
