For 1 year, I have been spending a large amount of time using LLM for multiple topics (psychology, mathematics, physics). The experience I have made with this tool is frankly intense.

• On one side, I better understand the statements from giants such as Stephen Hawkins who predicted that AI would destroy humanity. I would relate this to a subsequent global reduction of ethics without control.
• On the other side, I see that it gives good opportunities for business. Tasks that would have required large research teams before are now doable by machines and by a single individual person – mechanically increases loneliness and individualism on the way. Is this the right way for society? I believe that no.

Hence, using AI today appears to be both stupid and clever. For those who believe that the quickest gets it all in this world, they will run for it by themselves! For others who depend on relationships and on human warmth, they will look their way around from this, and take the risk to be forgotten in few years. So as usual, taking the middle may enable to get the best of this revolution.

Meanwhile, high schools teach their students to program few Python lines, whereas these skills are already fully automated on machines, at very low financial cost for the end user – but at very high environmental cost.

In that context, energy production is foreseen to keep increasing. Making the world more sustainable will be happening mostly for those who are ready to make sacrifices. Others will simply keep high consumption – which is not proportional to results. Governments will take the decision of whom will have to make sacrifices and some resistance will appear in some parts of the world.

To whom tomorrow’s world will be driven by, then? To those who will search for their inner thoughts and will and nourish their surrounding with it? To those who will run the quickest with the latest algorithm to get maximum rush of adrenaline / money? What will be the space for ethics in future? How today and tomorrow’s societies would be able to avoid a global and general addiction to intense activities such as work, AI, mobile devices, fusion relationships, food, war, … ?

One solution out of this is to engage into jobs and activities that do not need a machine. Playing music with friends, sharing time with kids, making love to a partner, walking in the forest, reading a novel, managing our own lives. But then who will bring the money? Machines? Or humans, still?
