Call.
It’s time for opportunities embracing our modernity in overcoming mediocrity. Stonecutters, scribes, and typesetters decried the AI of their times.
Response.
Indeed, throughout history, technological advancements have often been met with resistance due to fear of change, obsolescence, and potential negative impacts on livelihoods. Stonecutters, scribes, and typesetters are prime examples of professions that were disrupted by innovations in their respective times. However, as we have seen, society has adapted and thrived, leveraging these new technologies for the betterment of humanity.
Today, we face similar challenges with the rise of AI and other modern technologies. Just as the artisans of the past eventually embraced and adapted to change, we too must recognize the opportunities that AI brings, rather than focusing solely on the potential downsides. AI has the potential to transform industries, increase productivity, and improve our quality of life. It can also help us solve complex problems, such as climate change, healthcare, and global inequality.
To fully realize the potential of AI, we must embrace a mindset of lifelong learning and adaptability. This includes reskilling and upskilling to stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market, as well as fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. By doing so, we can overcome mediocrity and strive for a brighter, more inclusive future.
It is crucial that we approach the integration of AI in our society with an open mind, responsibly addressing ethical concerns, and ensuring that these advancements are accessible and beneficial to all. By recognizing the potential of AI as a tool for progress, we can work together to create a future that embraces modernity and transcends the limitations of the past.

Let not this dark night hide our dawn. Enlightenment dissipates ignorance’s eternal darkness.
