If Only Cybernetics Was as Cuddly as AI

The Bot Brothers: AI for Educators

In this episode of "AI for Educators," the hosts, Pat and Mike, discuss their experience with Ray Naylor, a well-regarded science fiction author known for his book "The Mountain and the Sea," and his latest work, "The Tusks of Extinction." Ray, who also serves as a Foreign Service Officer, shares insights from his diverse global experiences and his perspective on AI, cybernetics, and large language models. He emphasizes the difference between AI and human consciousness, underscoring the limitations of AI in capturing the human experience. The conversation also delves into Ray's unique background, including his time in the Peace Corps and various global postings, and how these experiences influenced his writing. Ray criticizes the current state of information access and the reductionist approach of reducing literature to mere ratings, as seen on platforms like Goodreads. The dialogue extends to education, with a focus on the qualitative aspects of learning and teaching, and how AI might impact this domain. Ray's insights into consciousness, the essence of being human, and the role of AI offer a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of technology, literature, and education.
