Why ‘AI’ Will Never Truly Replace Humans
Schauer Thoughts
Intro
Sarah opens the episode with sponsor reads, episode theme, and personal updates before diving into AI and neuroscience topics.
This week we’re going over what AI can’t “afford” to do that the human brain can! Next week we will cover more on the “neuroscience” (actually just programming) of AI, as well as the ecological impacts. No need to sit tight, this week we’re sensing, feeling, and moving through the communal Schauer as a collective to spite some *very much* artificial intelligence.
