Apple co-founder doubts AI can replace humans & he’s “disappointed” by it

by

Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple, doesn’t think AI will take over from people – and he personally avoids using it.

Artificial intelligence is now a common part of how many of us live and work. It helps people automate boring tasks on the job, and we’re even starting to see AI built into things around the house.

Despite the growing popularity of AI, there’s been a lot of negative reaction, particularly online. People often reject low-quality AI-generated content – often called “AI slop” – and game developers have also received criticism for using it in their projects.

Even some prominent figures in the tech industry, like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, have suggested that concerns about AI are being overstated.

Steve Wozniak won’t really use AI

In interviews on CNN and Fox Business on March 23rd, Steve Wozniak discussed artificial intelligence and whether it could soon take the place of people.

He told CNN he doesn’t really use AI, only testing it with a few questions. He’s found that when he asks a specific question, AI provides lots of detailed explanations that are related to the topic, but don’t actually answer what he’s looking for.

He added that, so far, we don’t understand the brain well enough to create artificial intelligence that truly replicates human qualities – things like emotions, empathy, a desire to help, and a sense of morality.

The 75-year-old also expressed disappointment with some of the responses he received from AI.

He explained that he often finds writing too formal and lacking personality, and he prefers to read things that feel more human and relatable.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly common. For example, Mark Zuckerberg is creating an AI assistant to help with his work, and DoorDash is experimenting with using AI robots for everyday tasks by paying delivery drivers to help train them.
