Abhijit Naskar
“Vegetables with limbs (Sonnet 2824)

Now more than ever, if the human race
stops doing art, writing literature,
writing philosophy, poetry, code,
writing songs, music and mathematics, because
apparently generative ai can do all of that,
soon indistinguishable from the human article,

then this is the exact moment in history
when the human brain, particularly
the prefrontal cortex, starts to shrink,
rendering our species into vegetable with limbs.

Generative AI is going to have
the biggest impact on brain evolution,
since primitive humans learnt
to harness fire, for better or worse.

I'm not asking you to avoid ai altogether,
even if you try you cannot, any more than
you can refuse internet or electricity,
because, more and more, ai is going to infiltrate
every aspect of the global tech infrastructure -

all I'm saying is, get your priorities straight,
no matter what you do in any other aspect of life,
keep the central art of your life untouched by ai,
use ai as assistant, not as ghostwriter.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Before two years of age, human interaction and physical interaction with books and print are the best entry into the world of oral and written language and internalized knowledge, the building blocks of the later reading circuit.”
