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.

What actually is ancient Greece in philosophy?

Many times in philosophy have mentioned some persons from ancient Greece. That place and time were full of philosophers, who created many thoughts about things, like idealistic republic and atomic models, but people almost ever asked one simple questions about those philosophers. They ever ask "why those texts are made in long time ago"? In philosophy, the key thing is not proof anything like in some empiric investigations. And what means or what is the role of ancient Greece or philosophers of ancient Greece in that profession. Another question goes like this: what is the difference between the philosophical and historical Greece?


The element of philosophy is to use rhetorical argumentation, what makes those texts or speeches feeling right. And the problem of philosophy is that philosophers are professional thinkers, who sometimes say something, what is not pleased the persons who keep the force in their hands. And that's why is more comfortable to say that some ancient philosopher said those things before some Voltaire said those things in some place because in those cases Mr. Voltaire would be escorted in the cellar of that castle, and then the brutal extortion began.


In the time of Voltaire, there was one golden rule in making writings. The kings or other noblemen should not embarrassed, and the best way to embarrass those people was show that they were wrong. Kings were perfect people, what means the thing, that they could ever be wrong in many cases. But when we are going to meet the modern philosopher's relationship with some man, named Socrates or Plato, we must say that none of the modern philosophers could ever meet those persons from ancient Greece. And in the real life, we can't go and ask anything from Plato or Socrates.


Maybe in some day in tomorrow we could build a time machine, and then we could go to meet those great men from Greece, but before that, we can only use our imagination, why those philosophers claimed to say something, what might be the reason, that those philosophers have made so much claiming. Other philosophers have put their own texts to their name, and we can't go to ask those Greeks that what they really have said or written in some garden in ancient Greece at the beginning of history.
