The only difference is because we're used to hammers as a society, so deep knowledge of hammering is expected, while we aren't used to AI. [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] pointed that it took years to go from a society where smoking was a casual habit practiced by everyone (or at least every male) to tobacco-free countries like NZ. And I mentionned cars, it took nearly a century before road safety become a deep focus of public policies. I think the point is that it might take a long time for people to learn to use it. Which is expected. For some time, typing on a typewriter was a skill. We had large pools of secretaries for execs to type reports. Now, we have collectively mastered typing, and execs just type their report themselves. The path seems to be (nobody knows the tool) ==-> People able to use the tool gets an advantage over others ==> the knowledge becomes widespread enough that it becomes unskilled knowledge).We're at the very beginning of the curve.</blockquote>
