Artificial intelligence can never
take the place of
human interaction.
There is too much that
can go wrong if you
depend on machines and software.

Anything that can aid in faster
processing with less
human error is a
good thing.

I’m more of a fan of natural intelligence, but that doesn’t
seem to exist much
anymore.
Is artificial intelligence
a good thing?
Oscar;Rodriguez;Gonzalez
[Artificial Intelligence, or AI] can be
beneficial in good
hands, because [it
allows] humans to
evolve their thinking
beyond trivial tasks.

Artificial intelligence is a fantastic
thing, though poten-
tially scary. One of the
biggest issues I see is
in [how] we’re going
to deal with a decreasing need for
human labor as machines become
more and more capable.

Artificial intelligence is a blow
to creativity and
context-based solution
problem-solving, which
is ironic, since it takes
creativity to create AI.
