Increasingly, AI reminds me of the Lotus-Eater island in the Odyssey. It offers all manner of pleasures and the prospect of never having to work or think again. But the Lotus-Eaters became indolent vestiges of their former selves. We must heed the warnings of the old tales.

With tech seeking to destroy art and literacy, we need a revival of the humanities. We need to insist that human literature, music and myth are worth learning and defending. That humans are unique and our achievements can't be replicated by machines.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The hype over AI reminds me of the classic fairytales where someone is promised fame and riches without having to do any work. It never ends well for those who accept the bargain. The devil offers you shortcuts, but there is always a price.
