Can Relying Too Much on Technology Weaken Our Human Abilities? | Science & Spirituality

Yes so can our dependence on say technology like AI lead to problems? yes see the nature of the material world is that every problem has a solution and every solution creates a problem that is the nature of the world there are no problems that seem unsolvable but there are no solutions that are perfect that is the nature of the world so with every problem every solution will come a problem and we have to learn resources to deal with that problem so can can any technology lead to problems of course yes so using phones it can make us more distracted social media can make us more distracted it can also make us more connected now it depends on how we use it so now for similarly with respect to AI should we regulate using it there are two different things that we use technology as a resource for our intelligence artificial intelligence if it becomes a resource for our intelligence then it is valuable that means I am doing the thinking I am doing I use it for information for guiding my analysis for editing or whatever but the problem is instead of it being a resource for our intelligence we outsource our intelligence there that can become deadly so the problem is artificial intelligence is a bit of a problem but the big problem is artificial intelligence and natural stupidity that's a deadly combination so this boy who committed suicide what happened was he outsourced his own life to AI so now that means that is AI enhancing my ability or reducing my ability so can I do certain things without technology also and do I do them so if I do it if I have to do some simple writing you know do I proofread it myself or do I visually give it to AI do some simple calculation do I need AI for doing it can I do it myself so we should also be able to be evaluating whether this is increasing my ability or decreasing my ability so it should be an extension it should not be a replacement and that caution we have to take now each thing will bring challenges so for example now each passing generation the attention span of kids has decreased but paradoxically the IQ of kids seems to be increasing you know the kind of games that kids 5 year old, 6 year old, 8 year old, 10 year old kids play, they are very complicated games, there are so many moving pieces if say I am 50 round about almost I have a nephew who is settled in America, my brother's son is settled in America he was playing some game and he wanted me to play with him you know I had to spend some good amount at least 5-10 minutes to understand what the game is I didn't have time to play but I was still observing the thing is that as far as IQ level is concerned with each generation the IQ level seems to be increasing nowadays if you see most movies many of the movies have much more complicated plot lines and this character was here and this character was here and sometimes you have what do you say you have multiple series of movies and what happened in the previous movie you have to remember to understand this movie also so now you can see people are so lost in that they forget the world and they forget they remember the movie characters that is true but the point is people do nothing can completely in this world nothing is a complete curse and nothing is a complete blessing so when I say IQ is increasing what it means is that people's capacity to process complex stimuli has increased complex stimuli not necessarily complex concepts but complex stimuli that's why when you say people are distracted through technology what happens is they are getting so many dazzling stimuli that real life doesn't hold their attention so but so many dazzling stimuli come in through technology and people can process it so in that sense the capacity to process complexity has increased so that way technology that way you can say IQ has increased now you can say IQ has increased but EQ has decreased and that is also true and SQ has practically become zero only so there are you could argue that the problems are bigger than the blessings but that's an argument is a separate issue our topic was not that today our topic today was not technology blessing or curse our topic was science and spirituality.
