The second problem comes from the biased programming we see. If we are increasingly dependent on a biased tool to create content, the outcome over time will be more damaging than the current censorship by the legacy media with cooperation by most social media platforms.

From the beginning, we used the same edged stone to gut our quarry and our brothers— with equal delight. AI is no different. It’s both exciting and terrifying. It’s also inevitable.

I am concerned about the further degradation of our educational system. We already have some of the lowest achievement scores among developed countries. Our youth need to learn critical thinking, open debate of ideas and basics like reading, writing, arithmetic and science. AI could give students the ability to coast through school without really learning anything of use in our competitive society. This is already happening, and it’s only going to get worse until those in power get shaken out and replaced with people who actually care.

As computing gets faster and faster, humans will be unable to keep up, let alone stay on top of it. Politicians are always behind the eight ball and won’t be any help. Case in point: Recently, a female AI robot was presented to a government body and was able to answer questions. The officials were amazed and overwhelmed. And that contributes to the hypnotizing effect of complacency. “Don’t be concerned—it’s for your own safety.” We are addicted to convenience.

Has Luckbox used ChatGPT or [other AI platforms] to replace or reduce the cost of experienced writers and/or editors? If not, is it being experimented with?

—Wendy Green Middleton, New Jersey

Jeff Joseph, Luckbox editorial director, replies: The Luckbox editorial team has embraced AI platforms for ideation, research and productivity. In this AI-focused issue, we’ve pointed out what AI has written to illustrate its capabilities to our readers. While we recognize generative AI’s current problems with accuracy—we believe in the power and potential of AI as an essential editorial tool. But unless we say otherwise, everything in Luckbox is human-generated, and no jobs were threatened in the production of this issue!
