Do you control computers or do they control you?

They do oddly seem to start to work/fall in line when I pull out the sledgehammer or start talking about recycling. But really, I think they do tend to control us these days.

A computer has a zero IQ. its just a tool for us to use. However it does feel like technology controls our lives for sure. Some people get so fed up the "go off the grid" and go live in the wilderness for a while. What do you think?

You make valid points and I think they control us to a degree. I would be lost and depressed without my computer. My only fear is that AI is becoming so good that it will one day become self-aware. Then God help us. Example: Astonishing AI

Just don’t let them. Know when to get off the computer. Off the phone. Steve, She looks so real. There's green screens to make it all seem real too. AI should be stopped.

Nebulous, Steve, demonskeith, lainee, Bob, Wonderful topic & replies! I do think they can control us because we as a society give in to peer pressure. Studies have shown that we ARE a more depressed society. We are not meant to be socializing behind screens. As for AI, it's amazing what they can come up with! I've watched videos of AI taking old photographs & had their eyes blink, slightly move, just like they would be normally waiting for a picture to be taken. Now look how advanced they are! I watch nature shows & I honestly cannot tell if some of what I'm watching is real or fake. Then just think. If they can fool us this easily, think of how many lies are out there from Bigwigs. All you need is that Google eraser & you can eliminate anything in the background. Or... put something in to make "the other guy" look bad. Control us, yes. But I think we should be scared as well.

Steve, She looks so real. I know, right? Absolutely amazing. Couldn't agree more. What's to stop an entity like that from running for office online and if it wins, make decisions totally based on AI?

Steve, Bob, Who's to say it's not already out there? It's not like the Government tells us anything.

Steve , Bob , Who's to say it's not already out there? It's not like the Government tells us anything. If it were already 'out there', it would be making a lot better decisions than what are being made now. Unless their program is from a one-sided perspective. & if they think like humans, they may just do that!
