Sure, but by its very nature AI cares more about saying what you want to hear than what is true.
Further, the problem of AI hallucinations has no solution at this time which can be very dangerous depending on who’s using it.
Yes but social media is far worse for that, so you’re sort of yelling at clouds here.
How about this: anyone who doesn’t use ai for its intended purpose is banned from the system? 😅
What exactly is its intended purpose? AI companies advertise it as doing anything and everything.
I agree though , social media is absolutely a problem. But social media being a problem doesn’t mean other things can’t also be problems.
Lots of things are advertised beyond their capabilities. Especially if people use them wrong.
AI isn’t bad. People are bad. Giving people AI is just one tool in a sea of millions of tools than can be misused. Focusing on it as the issue is ignoring the actual problem.
Is there a specific personal event that brought you to your opinion of AI, or is it mostly just stuff in the media?
I wouldn’t even rank it as a tool, as tools are usually supposed to be useful.
Well this goes back to you not knowing how to use it, because you refuse to learn, and therefore you feel it is useless. When it is, in fact, very useful as I have shown. You are yelling at the clouds because you have some kind of bias against it that is fixed in stone.
Do you miss the rotary phone? ;)
I mean obviously, the rotary phone is badass.
