• Why ‘AI’ Will Never Truly Replace Humans

  This week we’re going over what AI can’t “afford” to do that the human brain can! Next week we will cover more on the “neuroscience” (actually just programming) of AI, as well as the ecological impacts. No need to sit tight, this week we’re sensing, feeling, and moving through the communal Schauer as a collective to spite some *very much* artificial intelligence.  Get this new customer offer and your 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just $15 a month at https://MintMobile.com/SCHAUER Book Club: For information about my book club, as well as cost, schedule, and additional learning opportunities, please visit my Substack, linked below.  The outline, as well as the platform it will be hosted on - likely Patreon (not Substack, even though I do know the platform can host book clubs) will go up on my Substack at noon PST on Wednesday, September 10.  I hope you all can join, I am so beyond excited to read and share with you all!
