我问了一位我认识的精神科医生关于人工智能的影响。我急切地想听听他的看法，你知道的，关于人工智能将如何影响我们的大脑和教育，它如何影响社会和世界。他告诉我：“我们还不知道太多。事实上，我们甚至还不知道电视或手机对我们有多大影响，我们需要更多的时间和更多的研究。”出于某种原因，听到这些让我感到惊讶……我不确定是不是因为他是一名精神科医生，所以他过于科学化。但这种知识上的诚实真的给我留下了深刻的印象。后来，他在另一个语境下解释了抑郁症的话题，以及它为什么是一种障碍而不是一种疾病。它是一组我们注意到经常（但不总是）同时出现的症状，这只是我们为了相互理解而创造的一个术语，并且我们有一些基于现有研究可能有效的治疗方法（无论是否使用药物，或两者皆有），所以我们将其提供给患者。就这样。我们实际上并不知道抑郁症到底是什么。形成鲜明对比的是，我记得不久之后看到有人发帖谈论抑郁症，以及“治疗抑郁症的办法就是[简单地]远离有毒的环境”。这一切又回到了关于人工智能的观点。我开始不喜欢关于人工智能的辩解性说法（好吧，我仍然不喜欢那些试图讨好所有人的观点）。但说真的，现在看到一些人如此自信地谈论人工智能，这让我感到惊讶，不知道一切也是可以的！是的，这非常可怕，我们都会对未知的事物感到压力。但这并不意味着我们应该说服自己已经弄清楚了。我们仍在摸索中，而这本身就是一个不错的位置！我想是这样。另外，你有没有遇到过类似的展现出知识谦逊的经历？也许它也改变了你什么？

I asked a psychiatrist I know about the effects of AI. I was eager to hear from him, you know, how AI will affect our brains and education, how it is and will affect society and the world. He told me, "We don't know much yet. In fact we still don't even know how much impact the TV or phones are having on us, we need more time and more studies". For some reason this was surprising to me to hear... I'm not sure if it's because he's a psychiatrist so he's way too scientific. But that intellectual honesty was really impressive to me. He also explained later in a different context the topic of depression, and how it's a disorder and not a disease, which is a set of symptoms that we noticed often (but not always) come together, it's just a term we made to understand each other, and we have some treatments (with or without drugs, or with both) that could work based on the studies we have, and so we give them to patients. That's it. We actually don't know what depression is. In stark contrast, I remember seeing a post not long after that of someone talking about depression, and how "the solution for depression is [simply] getting away from a toxic environment". This all gets back to the point about AI. I've started to dislike defensive claims about AI (well, I still dislike takes that try to please everyone too). But seriously, it's surprising to me now to see some people talk about AI with such confidence, it's okay not to know everything! And yes, it's scary as hell, we all feel stressed about things we don't know. But that doesn't mean we should convince ourselves we have figured it out. We're still figuring it out and that's a good place to be! I guess! Also, do you have such experiences where you've seen such intellectual humility? Maybe it changed something in you too?<p>------- (I used an AI tool to slightly improve the grammar and flow of this post)
