AI & Human Intuition: Enhancing, Not Stifling | Dangers of Anthropomorphizing AI

This discussion explores how people perceive and interact with digital tools, especially with the rise of AI. Before AI, computational and digital design often implied a refined form. However, this came at the cost of the richness of our sensory experiences.
Humans are sensory creatures, and senses are interconnected. Vision, touch, heat, and texture all influence how people understand the world. Digital tools can sometimes feel distant from this holistic experience.
Then, AI became widely available. Tools started generating images and engaging in conversations. This led to a rapid anthropomorphization of AI, where people project human-like qualities onto these systems.
AI and intelligent systems have existed for decades. The increase in accessibility over the last two years has changed the landscape. AI has become more widespread, leading to initial excitement.
The perception of AI "thinking" comes from its ability to process and generate information in a way that makes sense, as it is designed to do. This video unpacks these ideas and challenges assumptions about the relationship between humans, digital tools, and the evolving world of artificial intelligence.
