Decline of the Human Adventure

1990s, that was a good decade! Smart mobile phones were a thing of fiction, and human beings treasured physical connections more than fantasy.

In my opinion, the advent of fantasy was touted to help shield netizens from emotional pain and suffering. A way to provide simple joys, charades that masqueraded as virtual connections.

Our virtual connection grew so gigantic that it developed a mind of its own. An intelligence that has now invaded every aspect of our being and has started to replace human intelligence. No, it’s even deeper. It has now invaded the aspect of human adventure.

Adventure is how humans create and experience life. Trying things, failing, failing and failing again. Then learning through process improvement to make future actions better and faster to accomplish.

Now humans are sacrificing that adventure and process improvement by overly depending on AI.

If I wanted to know what my girl liked in the 1990s, I would take the adventure to learn from her friends, her family, and then surprise her. She would know it was intentional and genuine, and therefore provide the assurance that I truly am serious about her.

Now you have people asking for relationship advice from AI because they are afraid of that adventure into the unknown. The unknown pain, rejection, suffering. When all those negatives used to be seen as needed risks to build an adventure-filled future.

Humans need to get their adventure back by ensuring AI does not take that need for physical connection from us, but instead reinforces that need for physical connection.
