The Paradox of Information and the Drought of Wisdom in the Age of AI

(image generated with DALL-E)

A very quick thought on this.

We live in an age where the quantity of information is confused with the quality of wisdom. It’s a strange variant of the Dunning-Kruger effect: our digital expansion has inflated our sense of intellectual wealth, while our reserves of wisdom seem depleted. AI has promised us an intellectual boom, but we find ourselves in a paradoxical situation of knowledge overload and struggling with a drought of wisdom. It’s not that we can’t become more intelligent with AI; we’re just learning to tap into its tune before we understand the music of our thoughts.

The problem is not AI itself but that we use it to sprint before mastering the art of critical thinking and deep understanding. ~ (Murat Durmus)
