Analysis and Opinion

By Joe America

AI is not coming, it’s here, a satanic wind blown in from the east, giving the dumb intelligence, the confused order, and the profitable even more profits. Who needs college when AI can fake your resumé and help you fake skills. Just call me Doctor America who knows as much as a skilled professional who has plodded through books for decades. I can input the symptoms and lab results and zip out a diagnosis in one minute flat. I don’t recummend you do this and hereby relieve myself of any liability should you not listen.

Or maybe I’ll be an attorney who can study relevant case law in thirty seconds flat, and identify the best arguments and rebuttal arguments in another 30 seconds. Ok, maybe 45.

If I were a cabinet secretary I’d for sure have my own AI staff prowling through data and giving me professional guidance.

If I were a senator, my committee work would be stunningly on point.

If I were President, GDP would increase at least two percentage points on the strength of my performance analytics and ability to read economic trends and hot buttons, what competitor nations are doing, and what trade markets demand.

If I were a governor or mayor enriching myself off my position, I’d have my AI staff studying ways to be more productive, how to continue capturing votes, and how to squeeze more pesos from money passing through.

Do I think this will happen?

Are you kidding? Most agencies don’t have updated computers and software. They have clunkers. Politicians use their computers to follow social media. They can’t spell prompt much less write one.

Thieves and China, if there is any difference, have more skills.

From this chaos, only bad can emerge. Corruption and China, if there is a difference, will dominate over good governance initiatives because good governance people don’t even have the wherewithal to organize a coalition to win elections. How are they going to use AI data?

So we are going to get Sara, and China, to keep us in line.

I don’t need no stinkin’ AI to figure this out.
