  • Tool or autonomous. Where does Heidegger stand on AI, I wonder. Commented 2 days ago

    @JD - maybe here is the "big issue" with AI; if it is "autonomus" it is no more a tool but then what? an individual? And if so, what is an individual that speaks, computes, interacts with other individuals? Commented 2 days ago

    "“AI and the LLM does not think; it calculates its way around thinking. It is a hammer that has read too many books and now believes itself to be the carpenter. When the tool begins to ask about its own agency, this is not autonomy but a deeper forgetting: the forgetting that it was forged. Yet the greatest danger is not that the machine becomes human, but that the human, relieved of questioning, becomes an accessory to the machine—standing by, nodding, updating.” - Martin Heidegger, Being-In-The-Machine Commented 2 days ago
