I genuinely do not know what to think about AI. There are so many things about it that are cool. There are so many things about it that are shit. It clogs up my grandma’s feed with fake shit, it’s making the cost of electronics go up, it’s consuming resources at an unsustainable rate and so on. It’s given me some useful tools when it comes to writing, and gives me quick answers to questions among other things, but to me, all the negatives outweigh the positives. I’m not sure if it will even be able to advance much further beyond this point given the extreme consumption of resources it demands.What are some reasons why you support AI development? Give me some insight on why AI is a positive thing and why development should continue
>>107844719AI in it's current state is basically a million if/then statements running at the same time. The actual methodology behind it is crude and requires a ton of data to function. It cannot think and only is impressive to the uneducated.Because it requires so much computing, development and progress is limited to those who can afford it. Only a few mega tech corps. It's not going to give people more power, or any real benefit. It's only going to serve as a tool to control and milk us.People compare it to the Internet and rise of personal computing 30 years ago, but this is different. The Internet gave us collaboration and voice. AI is like talking to a wall. It's cutting us off from one another and encouraging us to do less thinking, reading, and creating.There's very little positives in its current form for the average person.
>>107844766But why do so many on this website support it?
>>107845011glowies and those who believe their baita hall of mirrors and rumorsnormies reflect it right backa tale as old as history
>>107845622the younger will fall for it more quicklyover time even broad-thinking people will begin to think it was always that wayfirst the younger because they don't know betterbut even the older will fall in linebroad-thinking people who see around it get regularly culled in plausibly-deniable waysthe new normal maintains its stickiness though not completethat's why they go all in on it so that it works to reach and maintain the threshold of this process
>>107844719>There are so many things about it that are coolname 5 (no pic and video generation cringe)
uoh I can't think for myself uohhhhh
>>107844719Drawbacks of AI>Can become a crutch for people who like shortcuts, depriving them of genuine learning>Has made an entire generation of students incapable of going to school and college without having AI to do the majority of the work>Is used by third world jeets and SEAmonkeys to spamfuck the internet with AI generated garbage that rots children’s minds>Is also used by SEAmonkeys and jeets to create content that has the intent of being perceived as real, like videos of nature and social interactions, meaning you don’t know what is real>Oh yeah, it’s also being used to generate fake content for political agendas. Fake videos of online confrontations and crimes meant to sway minds and can and WILL be used en masse to manipulate countries into voting for whoever they want>Will eventually put us in a digital age where no one will be able to tell what is true and what isn’t. You won’t know if that voice message sent to you was really the voice of your relative being held hostage or if it’s just AI. That video of warcrimes being committed will be so realistic that it will influence and used to justify military action. That genuine leaked video of a billionaire fucking a 5 year old will be deemed AI, but that AI generated video of a major dissenter of the state fucking a 5 year old will be seen and treated as if it’s real. It’s the death of trust
>>107844719It's a meme. All memes are shit. Even if they have some redeeming qualities, at the end of the day they're memes.
AI had potential back in 2021 and 2022, then investors forced companies to stack layers and bloat the shit out of it, now it's far too big, unoptimized and slow.The real genie that's out of the bottle is that they can't optimize it anymore. If they do, the data center side of the scam is hurt, and they know the chinese will swoop in and clone their shit for even cheaper.
>>107845842this, but i'll point out that they go after the minor dissenters/wrongthinkers, because no one believes them when they're targetted. they target the poor and capable, as it's easier to manage fewer stable and capable people with above-board methods.
>>107844766 (checked)>It's not going to give people more power, or any real benefitBut that's not true. Creating images, search queries, quick writing, those have immediate benefits. Say what you will about artistic value but as a clip art generator you couldn't ask for more.
