AI vs. HI Progress

From my point of view.

Are we?

Are we making progress? Do people believe that human intelligence is more important than AI? Should they?

Basics

I played semi-pro football, and one of our best educational tools was a simple phrase, “Let’s go back to the basics.”

Every Monday morning was spent looking at the films (no videos in those days) of the plays that were made. Play by play, player by player. By the time we finished that afternoon, we all knew the mistakes and the good things we had done in the game from the previous weekend. Hey,’ Super Bowl weekend is coming up. I couldn’t resist using a football comparison.

The basics here are that we must remember that AI is an outgrowth of human intelligence. There would be no AI if it were not for human intelligence. And, like any new technology, we’re so excited at the possibilities that all we can think of is its intended consequences. Unintended consequences (the downside) are always after the fact or, in this case, discovery.

To Date

Our effort to make AI vs. HI Top of Mind succeeds when you look at the volume of articles and the numbers below.

We launched a formal writing campaign that would be especially noticed every Monday. Across publications all over Medium, writers have posted their opinions for and against the use of AI. By extension, it also includes the use of AI to create art or graphics.

AI vs. HI Stories = 74

Dancing Elephant Press Stories Written (Jan plus one week in Dec.) = 61

Stories considered for the January AI vs. HI writing contest, more than 50

Stories considered for publication in the DEP AI vs. HI Book project = 40*

The current list of HI-only publications can be found in this story:

If you’re looking for writers who only use HI in their work, then track the writers at the bottom of this story.

The number of discussions and comments about the different aspects of AI vs. HI on Medium and elsewhere that writers write. Incalculable.

Bottom Line

Our goal is to make it Top of Mind. My view is that it’s probably something we’re now thinking about on a daily basis. Our objective is being met. Now what?

Here are some things you can do to keep this Top of Mind going forward.

Let others know where you stand. Here’s my position:

You may want to use the no AI symbol here:

Or, you could use something like this at the end of your stories:

Continue to submit your HI articles, poems, posts, and stories to various Medium publications.

STOP reading AI written material on Medium and other platforms. Your reading assures their support.

Finally

If this feels a bit like a war, that’s because it is. It’s a war of choice. AI vs. HI. Will one win over the other? In this writer’s opinion, NO. There will always be AI-generated writing for consumption. However, the use of honest HI creations will always be a better choice for honesty, clarity, creativeness, originality, style, and design. It’s Human-Made. When we’re talking about writing, it means better quality.

In the past week, we’ve had so many articles submitted. If you haven’t taken a position or want to see what other quality writers like yourself are thinking, then please review these stories:
