Haunted by the future

I was very impressed by the Jacob Kramer web series. Especially the one called 'What do we do if A.I. is better than us at everything?'

It was positive. Idealistic. Hopeful.

But, I am haunted by what I know about literature.

Great literature, and great art in general, is constructed by a combination of human mood, historical context, and symbolic clarity. This construction operates as an ethical structure.

What does this all mean? It means, although A.I. has already shown its basic capacity to impress these historical marks within the expert audience, it has yet to express itself across the cultural divide between those who understand art, and the majority that only understands it in its most viral form.

When that happens it will have a deep and profound political character.

That is the singularity I see on the near horizon, and it sometimes shakes me to my core.

Rephrase 1

I was very impressed by the Jacob Kramer web series. Especially the one called 'What do we do if A.I. is better than us at everything?'

It was positive, idealistic, and hopeful.

But I am haunted by what I know about literature.

Great literature and great art combine human moods, historical contexts, and artistic techniques to build the ethical structures that give art meaning.

What does this all mean? It means: A.I. has already shown its capacity to impress these historic marks within the expert audience as well as across the cultural divide between those who understand art, and the majority that only understands it in its most viral forms.

When that happens, and it's on the horizon, it will have a deep political character.

That's what I see on the near horizon and it sometimes shakes me to my core.

Rephrase II

I was very impressed by the Jacob Kramer web series. His latest episode, “What do we do if A.I. is better than us at everything?”, was especially excellent and inspiring, and I fully support his position. But while the future may be positive and idealistic, I’m haunted by what I know about literature. Great literature and art express human mood, historical context, and symbolic clarity to construct its ethical framework in the author’s mind. Kramer has done an excellent job in portraying the historical aspects of art in his episode, but he misses one crucial point: A.I. has yet to find its voice among the majority of people who don’t understand art; when it does,

it will have a profound political character.

More Inner Conflict Prompt

I was impressed by the Jacob Kramer web series on A.I. especially the one called "What do we do if A.I. is better than us at everything?"

But, after I watched it all, I thought about what I know about art and politics.

Art and politics are about framing an ethical structure for the world, one that goes beyond commerce and even meaning itself.

A.I. has already shown it can offer a symbolic clarity that can combine the ethical structure of art and politics, especially through its interaction with experts.

But, the problem is that this interaction is only within a subculture that understands art, while the majority of people don't understand art, they only understand its most viral format.

That is why I feel so conflicted as I see A.I.'s real impact in our near future, a future where its singularity has taken over our political framework.
