Artificial Intellgence begins to take over

                Technology has developed profoundly over the year which has been beneficial and not so beneficial through its uses. The development of technology today is advanced in a way the artificial intelligence now exists. In the article "Facebook Is Already Using Its Artificial Intelligence On You", it is confirmed that while using Facebook on a daily basis, we are working with artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence that Facebook offers is the capability of recognizing interaction and the content that being delivered throughout the feed, such as liking statuses posted by other people. I am personally not a daily Facebook user, but there are times I am curious and want to look through my feed to see what has been occurring around the world. I remember that when an account is created, it asks many questions such as; what are your interest? what is your favorite movie? favorite book to read? ...etc. Its quite incredible to see how Facebook processes a persons interest to find common preferences. The software truly goes an extra mile to keep the user engaged on their account by being presented with similar preferences to theirs. Like Facebook, I would say another social media that uses a similar form of tracking a persons interest would be Instagram. On Instagram we are provided the option to explore our interests and are able to view pictures that current friends have posted or even liked themselves on their own account. Not only are we capable of searching almost anything we are interested in on Instagram, but we are also given the capability of viewing what our current friends are interested in or viewing from their likes. The article has proven that all current Facebook users can now be recalled as a post-human through the use of AI in this social media. Without a doubt we are all surrounded by different forms of technology, and just like I was unaware that by using Facebook I was already interacting with a form of artificial intelligence, means that there are more programs we are engaged in that may now also be considered artificial intelligence. Although Facebook functions with artificial intelligence I still believe it to be considered a social network due to the amount of communication and sharing done between many individuals. Although Facebook goes above and beyond to keep the user engaged by finding similar preferences,  people we may know are also suggested and that is how former acquaintances, friends, or family connect.
            In "5 Very Smart People Who Think Artificial Intelligence Could Bring The Apocalypse", Venor Vinge shares with the readers his intake on artificial intelligence. Vinge believes in a theory of "singularity" which describes the interaction between robot and humans. He believes that through the competitive rise of technology to benefit the economy, military, and even artistic is so compelling that the extinction of human race is definitely a possibility. I completely agree. The more advanced that technology becomes, the more technology is relied on. Humans are definitely being defeated by technology. The more technology advances, the more a humans own mind and intelligence is being over ruled. There was a report that revealed "65% of U.S. consumers are spending more time on their computers than with their significant others"(Technology Is Taking Over Americans' Lives). The article reveals how engaged humans are in technology and the interests it carries on a person. The study revealed proves how we have became post-human by being attentive to our technological devices than our own loved ones. Technology may seem so fascinating and intriguing to ones eye, but in the end the harm it causes may be inevitable.
