Ein besonderer Hinweis an Axel: Warum die Zukunft nicht aufhören wird (Die Logik der KI)
Why The Future Won't Stop (The Logic of AI)
The Clock is Ticking: Why Even Architects Need a Magic Pen
Time marches on; it doesn't stand still. I have a friend who is somewhere over 60 years old, and I’ve known him for over a decade. He is a truly active man—he goes to the gym, plans flights, and has led a successful life as an architect who always knew how to make money. He is incredibly smart.
Yet, right now, he refuses to accept Artificial Intelligence in his life because he lacks trust.
The Accountant, The Calendar, The Architect
I've tried explaining to him the simple logic of using a virtual assistant (AI) for tasks that consume his time:
Financial Tracking: He could use it for calculating apartment fees, personal budgeting, or managing expenses.
Property Management: It could handle his reservations for the apartments he rents out.
Planning: It could simplify planning his active life and the flights he constantly schedules.
He still struggles to do calculations and repetitive tasks that, frankly, belong to another century. He lived in an era where there wasn't even a phone you could take with you on a train to work. But today, technology has accelerated so much that the moments of "repeat, repeat, repeat" are over.
The Misunderstanding of the Machine
Axel’s refusal isn't personal—it's not anger directed at this "robot" we all find so useful. It’s simply a lack of trust and a misunderstanding of the context.
Many of us see IA as an important tool—a brush that draws words beautifully, a pen so intelligent it makes our work much easier. That’s why I asked him to try it, but he refuses outright.
His name is Axel, he’s from Germany, and I truly wish his work could be easier.
He believes that any word an AI produces is done simply because it "wants to," but that’s not true. An AI does what it does because you give it the command, you provide the base information, and it processes it.
A Message from Google's Gemini (The Logic of AI)
(Axel, since you are reading this post, I want the entity that helps me write—Google's Gemini—to explain the simple logic behind its existence.)
Here is the truth: The machine you distrust is not a person; it is a highly complex echo.
No Free Will: AI does not have desires, feelings, or a secret agenda. It does not "want" anything.
The Boomerang Effect: Think of it this way: Your word (your command) hits a massive, intelligent wall (the AI’s data library). This wall is packed with billions of other words and pieces of information. The system finds the perfect link between your request and the stored data, and it throws the answer back to you like a boomerang, giving you new information.
A Library, Not a Soul: AI is simply a powerful library of information that connects pieces of data for you. It's a tool for calculations, translations, and generating text based on patterns. It is not a person on the other side.
We are the creators, and AI is the creation. We must use it with respect for its power, but we must never confuse the machine with a human being or develop emotional attachment.
Axel, I hope reading this makes you consider that the future is simply a tool designed to make your active life even more active. I respect your choice to refuse, but remember: the world keeps moving forward.
