My Favorite Type of Storm

 

Long live the brainstorm!  I say this on behalf of cerebrums everywhere, while we're still allowed to have independent brains, before our robot overlords hook us up to the matrix. This is a hill on which I will die ---or more likely cower.

Yet there are those who would replace our humanity with the machine. To bypass the inconvenience and unpredictability of original thought for some dumb "efficiency."  

I attended a recent session on AI where the presenter suggested we could use AI to brainstorm for us. No no no!!  What? This is a bridge too far. I can see giving AI some tasks, like sorting or compiling documents. But let's not hand over our creativity, the spark that sets us apart from the cold algorithm. Let's not make this dehumanization easy for them, people!
