Artificial intelligence Today, for the first time in history, thanks to artificial intelligence, it is possible for anybody to make counterfeit  people who can pass for real in many of the  new digital environments we have created. These counterfeit people are the most dangerous artifacts in human history, capable of destroying not just economies but human freedom itself. Before it’s too late (it may well be too late aleady) we must outlaw both the creation of counterfeit people and the “passing along” of counterfeit people. The penalties for either offense should be extremely severe, given that civilization itself is at risk. Daniel Dennett, The Atlantic, May 16, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com

Robots All we're going to see in our own lifetimes are intelligent tools, not colleagues. Don't think of them as colleagues, don't try to make them colleagues and, above all, don't kid yourself that they're colleagues. Daniel Dennett, 2017 © 2017 Kwiple.com

Truth I think we know that the most reliable path to truth is through communication of like-minded and disparate thinkers who devote serious time to trying to get the truth  — and there's no algorithm for that. Daniel C. Dennett, New York Times, August 25, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
