Am I a Cyborg? What about you?
A cyborg is a being with both organic and bio-mechatronic body parts. The term cyborg applies to a living organism that has undergone enhancements of abilities due to the integration of some artificial component or technology that relies on feedback.
Think this through, don’t you feel we are really getting closer to this.
With the spread of mobile phones and deep penetration of tech in our lives, don’t you feel that some part of your “self” is missing when any these devices are not around you?
And then comes AI, AI in its current state is not great and still we are off-loading our brain to these models. And in many, if not all cases they are actually better, they are getting better at coding, math, research literally day by day and for most people the current state of AI is more than enough.
As I already mentioned, current state of AI is not great, the “art” is slop, there are hallucinations, internet as I loved it is getting worse, and there are plenty more issues with this technology.
But still, how often do you think through a hard decision all by yourself? Even before understanding the problem, we find ourselves inside a chat window.
who is controlling whom is the real question.
We assumed that biological beings will get a part of technology in their body, while the reality I see is that the technology has reached a place where it is using us humans as their biological part to enhance their abilities.
We feed them with our data, our attention, our paintings, songs, music, literally everything.
AGI or Super-Intelligence or whatever AI bros call it is not the issue… the world and the future I had imagined, these technological advancements does not really deliver that, it’s bleak, comfortless, hazy and dark.
Art, content creation and sub-cultures, music everything is getting worse. I am not creating all this, neither are you, the people who are creating this even know that its slop, why don’t they stop? Are they in control?
If you don’t adapt you’ll die
Okay, but these adaptations should bring something better to the table, but all I see everywhere is opposite.
Someone will reply to this, “6 Months” and I agree, someday it will really get better, better than everyone. But along with all that what you will also get is deepfake content, trust-issues, confusion, self-doubts and many more…
I don’t know how it all plays out, but what I am sure about is that the world is going to get worse with slop more in the near future and I’ll try my best to deliver the best I could in this confusing time where next 6 months are going to be far different than the last six.
Should this stop then?
No, I still don’t think it should stop.
AI is a revolution and a revolution must go on
We are seeing the merging of all the brains into one. This is the second “cognitive revolution” happening. Revolutions happen to change the world, good for some, disaster for others.
I should not even be discussing about the “Stopping AI” because I don’t think all the stakeholder can come together to do that and we have seen this happen before.

Happy Independence Day India, but am I? No I am not! Are you…?
