All of a Sudden, It Was All Too Late
From Planet 253
by Matthew David Scott
Matthew David Scott draws on his experience in the technology industry and the arts to offer his perspective on the ideology behind AI, what happens to our humanity when writing no longer expresses our thoughts, and what this all means for the Welsh curriculum, and Welsh autonomy itself.
Humans spend a lot of time thinking about the future. These thoughts occupy the full spectrum of possibility: from utopia to dystopia; from universal liberation to mass extinction; from dreaming of winning the lottery to worrying if you’ll be able to find a parking spot. One of the fascinating things about our human need to imagine the world to come, is how we are so often late to realise that it is already here.
