I like the three 'rules of the road' Sam Chaltain offers in this article, though I would not characterize them at all as 'rules' or anything resembling rules. Here are (thus) the three thoughts: first, we should think of AI as a 'hive mind' "in which the distributed, decentralized nature of AI intelligence gets wielded in service of helping us better discern the patterns that have led homo sapiens to this point"; second, we should treat AI as a mirror and "not lose sight (so to speak) of AI's ability to show us who we have been -- or abdicate our human responsibility to ensure that that reflection can properly evolve"; and third, we should think of AI as an 'octopus', not a 'vending machine', in other words, as "relational, probabilistic, and often chaotic in ways that defy human expectations." I also like Noēma, from which Chaltain found these ideas, and have added it to my RSS feed reader.
