Information, Evolution & AI: A Conversation with William Dembski

Information isn’t free, Dembski says, and machines aren’t magic. By remembering what makes us human, we can use technology without losing ourselves to it.

The big idea behind generative AI (mistakenly) assumes a network can start blank and be transformed into an intelligent agent simply via enough data.
