Here we witness a debate between an AI generated Bill Gates and Socrates on the benefits and threats of AI itself (particularly in education)
The very concept of resurrecting great minds to ask for their guidance and opinion is a game changer in itself...
However, it's the content of this discussion between modern technologist and ancient philosopher - focusing mainly on the value of struggle in education - that's the real eye opener.
Although some have postulated that philosophy is merely science without evidence, this discussion highlights the other side of the argument - that "science without philosophy is blind"
However you feel about that particular debate, in a time when the future risks and applications of AI are uncertain, perhaps it makes sense to look for guidance in the learnings and messages of the past.
After all, as that other philosopher, Santayana, once said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
Massive kudos to "HQ" for creating the "AI Talk" channel on YouTube (link in the comments) which pits great minds from history and the present against each other to create increasingly fascinating conversations.
