AI makes me sad because it perpetuates my generation’s difficulty with in person face to face human to human connection (though I know not every single person is using it like in the movie her). HOWEVER it’s pretty nifty you can use it for jewish learning re the chabad AI bot and Torah
How I feel about AI and the rapid advancement of technology? - as they say in Hairspray “you can’t stop the beat” - you don’t have to like it but you need to understand it. It’s actually been around for decades and now being used for more and more - it’s inevitable - it’s HAL-ish with controls - just needs monitoring and controls to keep up. It’s like how cyber theft and fraud detection and prevention has to be constantly one step or three ahead. I’m a fan - I think it can be used for good things - not just fun flirtations hahaha.
I also need to say that what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust is in no way comparable to how the Highlanders were treated.
I look forward to this newsletter every Friday - Shabbat Shalom all!
For old people like me, AI is just a new way of talking to yourself. I do this all the time. Sometimes even when I am not even drinking. Like all things, as Emerson, a non Jewish thinker said: there is compensation, by which he meant that somethings that change make things better but at the same time there is a loss. AI seems still to rankle, and so there is an on-going debate ...will it make some jobs better but make other jobs obsolete. If it can write a sermon for a religious leader who needs a religious leader? f Moses had AI he would have had no need to climb a mountain to fetch the Commandments. There are no some dozen books for sale on Amazon that have been completely written by AI! Can AI write a bar mitzvah speech for my child?
My husband works for a tech company and is part of the Jewish allyship group at the company. He volunteers to check the AI chatbot for antisemitic biases by asking leading questions and seeing the answers, then judging and reporting if it's biased. It's pretty interesting work.
