In an interview with The Guardian, Jaron Lanier mentioned that the real danger of AI lies in humans becoming mutually unintelligible, questioning their own understanding and leading to a kind of collective insanity.
Lanier warns that while critics of AI are concerned with the technology being malevolent, the genuine threat is the deterioration of human interactions and the reliance on machines that may result in a loss of mental clarity.
Social media and excessive screen time are already being blamed for rising anxiety and depression among youth, a trend that could worsen with increasing reliance on AI chatbots for social interactions.
Experts agree that AI, while beneficial, may impact our mental faculties negatively, as overdependence on these tools can diminish our capacity for creativity and critical thinking.
