Excelled point. I think there are some legitimate uses of AI. Especially in image processing for science related topics.
But for the most part, almost every common use is unethical. Whether it be the energy demands, (and its contributions to climate change), the theft of intellectual property, the spread of misinformation, and so much more. Overall, it’s a huge net negative on society.
I remember hearing about the lawyer one. IIRC chatGPT was citing laws that didn’t even exist. How do you not check what it wrote? You wouldn’t blindly accept predictive word typing with your phones keyboard and autocorrect. So why would you blindly trust a fancier autocorrect?
It felt like the right way to approach the topic. AI has become so pervasive, I’m not even sure I could search for it without simultaneously using AI.
