Will AI…be seen as simply ivory tower propaganda?  
Not understanding technology doesn’t turn it into propaganda.

Was the printing press ivory tower propaganda? The Industrial Revolution? Electricity? Air flight? Radio and TV? Space travel?  The personal computer? Microprocessors? The internet? Satellites? Wireless communication? Cell phones? Streaming technology? Artificial intelligence? 

How many eighth graders actually understand any of these technologies? 

AI is already here. It’s real. Jobs are being lost. AI is just an acceleration of the societal changes caused by information technology. 

HL, allow me to clarify my earlier post.

AI, as I understand it, can be programed to offer theories such as Darwin's theory about evolution. In this respect, it goes beyond the invention of a personal computer. In other words, AI will be like a superhuman genius.

Consequently, AI comes off as "someone" smarter than the average eighth grader. 

So when some of the average eighth graders are confronted with AI  theories, which conflict with their personal opinions, they will reject it as ivory tower propaganda. Similar to those who are inclined to refer to university professors as being ivy tower intellectuals. Worse yet, ivy tower intellectuals who lack common sense.

Finally, who can say AI will have all the right answers? Heck, I can see AI correcting itself over time as new information comes to light.

@hoot 

Thx. I actually wondered if I misunderstood your post.

I get what you're saying. My personal experience would be that  people would consider over-the-head theories as beyond them and ignore them.

It's about time.  Those Texas public school students were making way too many graven images, and don't get me started on all the adultry.
