An AI discussion of the article What Time is It? The Synchronization of Civilization: Why AI is the Timepiece of the Future at https://williamlweaver.substack.com/p/what-time-is-it

We often hear that Artificial Intelligence marks the end of human craft—that by automating writing and coding, we are losing the "watchmakers" of the mind. In this new editorial, I argue the opposite. The transition from the sundial to the atomic clock didn't destroy time; it synchronized civilization. It allowed us to build layers of technology (GPS, the internet, global logistics) that the master watchmaker could never have envisioned.

AI is not the end of thinking; it is the "Quartz Revolution" of intellect. It democratizes the ability to create and allows us to synchronize concepts at a scale the unassisted mind cannot fathom. We need to stop fixating on the "sundial skills" of the past and start building the "GPS civilization" of the future.
