Several days a week, I run at lunchtime. Also, almost every day, my thoughts turn to the intersection of AI, robots, and humans. Many times, the Venn diagram of those two activities shows a large overlap.
Today was such a day. I’m out there running, and I couldn’t help but think about…running.
Today’s dominating thought topic was yet another fundamental difference between humans and AI-powered robots — regeneration versus degeneration.
Why do humans go for an exercise run, do squats, or take a Barre class? Because it’s good for you. It’s how your body (and mind) regenerate. The more you use it (to a certain degree), the better it becomes. Use begets regeneration.
AI-powered robots would never exercise. Why not? Because they break down with use. The more a robot exercises, the worse it gets. Use begets degeneration.
Simple but profound.
When the robots try to take over, we’ll use this against them.
