Imagine going back in time to the year 2000 and bringing today’s Internet with you…
You: Hey, everyone, I come from the future where we have technological marvels beyond your capacity to imagine!!
Everyone: Oh yeah? Prove it!
You (smirking smugly): How bout I show you the ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE we have created…ON MY SMARTPHONE!!!! *You start to bring up AI VIDEOS on YouTube….*
Everyone: Wait, you have artificial intelligence?! Wow!So did you use it to solve global warming?!
You: Err, no, not really, that has actually gotten far far worse ….
Everyone: Darn, well, at least large numbers of jobs must be done by machines, allowing for universal basic income and more time spent with your families…
You: Well…not quite, you see, all the financial benefits of automation went to the top 0.1%… they own us and our government and have created a new oligarchy
Everyone: Darn, well that sucks… surely you used AI to eliminate all disease, and allowing everyone to live a healthy life, free health care for everyone?
You: Ummm….
Everyone: No? Well that’s disappointing…. but surely having AI allows politicians to have scientific data at their fingertips and thus make wise decisions that benefit all mankind….
You: ah… no, not really, our president told us to drink bleach, and thinks windmills cause cancer….
Everyone: **starting to get nervous** PLEASE don’t tell us that AI has enslaved humanity and uses our blood to lubricate their macines…!
You: Haha, no, no, nothing like that… not yet, anyway…
Everyone: OK, we give up…. what wonders and miracles has it brought humanity?
Your phone:
You: OH hey… you know what, perhaps it’s better i not show you the future, sorry… you know, we wouldn’t want to create a paradox… or something…
Everyone: **dawning realization on their faces** OH god, you dumbfucks used it to make PORN, didn’t you!
You: **Nervously edging back towards your
time machine and checking your wrist that hasn’t had wrist watch on it in over a decade** OH wow, look at the time! I just remembered I am running late for, um, a thing I have to do… in the future…yeah…
Sigh…. what have we become…?
