The queasy possibility that humans and AI could ‘evolve’ in tandem

For the sake of engaging in a wholehearted discussion, assume that AI is evolving….

We then have these two ideas taking place at the same time:

  1. Humans evolve. The facet of humans evolving is a societally accepted ironclad assumption that few would disagree with.
  2. AI evolves. Whether AI evolves is a queasy assumption and depends on what you mean by referring to AI, and what you mean by referring to that which evolves.

The big reveal is this. Maybe both are evolving together, namely that we are experiencing human-AI coevolution.

The concept is that humans are making use of AI and therefore likely impacted by what AI says to humans.

Daily, people ask generative AI questions. The AI responds. People presumably learn new things, they gain new knowledge, they expand their understanding of things, and otherwise are intellectually being impacted by AI. Whether this is good or bad, well, that’s a different consideration, but there is an impact taking place regardless of either side of that coin.
