Why are we obsessed with AI?

People are obsessed with AI. The question is: why? The answer can stay in our society. We have the attitude that everything must happen fast. That's why we rather use the Internet than books. There are philosophers, home thinkers, etc, who say that we should go to the library and read books. But when we are in working life we have no time to go to the library and then find things. That we need.  If somebody wants people like students to go to the library and read books they must give time for that. 

When we are at work we must be effective. We have no time to go to the library to search for books, and then write some philosophical thoughts about them. People ask why we give our right to think to AI. The answer is that AI makes everything more effective. If we want to be creative that means we are not effective. If we want to become philosophers we must not expect that our society accepts that thing. 

When we think of something alone we are not social and effective. We are alone with our thoughts. And that is not what society expects us to do. Society wants us to make results. When we write something that takes time. And if we use AI we can make much more texts. Quantity replaces quality. Nobody respects the text that we make ourselves using our own words. People respect models that some other person made. 

Those models make it possible to make more texts and the next step is AI. There is no time to make offers by using your own words. The effectiveness means that people use some models. Lots of offers are better than one that a person makes, using their own words. 

When somebody needs information that means information is needed right in the moment. On our working day, we don't even have time to ask the person who sits next to us that person's name. We don't have time to think about things. And another thing that we have is fear. What if we give a wrong answer? 

That is one of the worst fears in modern life. So if we don't have time to think about things, we don't dare to answer. Using our words, and introducing our own ideas. AI is similar to some poem books. We can take a poem book. And then search for some impressive words and copy them to the text. The next step is the use of AI.

We must use things like AI tools. The AI tool is like a secretary that makes our speeches and other official texts. So we can go in front of people and say, here I read a paper that my secretary has written. That offers the escape door to us. If there is a mistake we can blame our secretaries for that thing.  

The same way, if we make referrals about articles and books that we read, those words might be wise. That's true. But those words are not our own words. Maybe Socrates was a very famous and wise man. But that person wrote his own ideas and words. When we make a speech to our ceremonies we should write our own texts. 

I think that people like Socrates and Plato were very intelligent. But if we just loan those texts, and copy them we cannot find new Socrateses. We cannot find a new philosophy. And what we need is the time to think and the time to handle and observe our thoughts. We are so busy that we have no time to go to the library, and read books. If we are wrong we would face blame. We must have time to go to the Gym after work. We must have time to be social. And we must have time to do many things. 

But then we must realize. That we have no time to sit and read. If we want to go to the library to read books we must find time to do that thing. 

If we buy a book or borrow it. But we have no time to read it. 

That book doesn't offer a very big advance in our knowledge. If we want to get information and use it we must open that book or database etc. And then our mind must be ready to receive that data. 

We don't have time to think about things and the consequences of our work. If we don't dare to write things that we think we cannot find new Socrates and other philosophers. If everything that we write and introduce must be so scientifically proven we should realize that those things don't bring advances.
