SD Times column by Jason English
If all of us made up our minds to stop saying AI, stop mentioning it, stop typing it, I think we could actually get out of this mess we’ve allowed ourselves to put ourselves in.
I’m serious. Don’t. Say. A. I. Ever. Again.
All of a sudden, we just won’t talk about it anymore. Then all the things that were AI-something, and the companies that were going to rebrand and put .AI at the end of their names, we can just call them whatever they were before.
Now, I’m not talking about AI going away. No, it’s way too late for that. We’re already soaking in it, and it will eventually consume something like half the energy output of the world and drain our aquifers.
Instead, we will simply assume every product company, application vendor or service provider that has somehow survived the last three years must already be doing AI by now, and since it is ubiquitous, we will be allowed to move on with our lives from there.
No more worrying about getting left behind by the competition because of AI. No more fear of missing out on the big AI party. Let’s start our own party.
Turn up the bass. Relax, you’re breathing fine in here. After all, you can’t spell air without AI. Whoa.
