MY THOUGHTS ON AI

eh a little rant but why not? we're on tumblr ffs, anyway

So I've been thinking about AI, since as a tool it seems very useful. But in its current state it has definitely gone overboard and to shit. Like damn, we got ai generated images that look like shit and a whole bunch of other problems that came with it. But at the same time, AI has cut the cost of spending way more time on tedious things which could've been done by humans anyway (but it'll just take like WAYY more time to do them manually). That's why we have computer programs that may not seem like AI at first, but are practically AI in the way they work. For example, algorithms in search engines and so that. Honestly, won't write like elaborate explanations which like make logical sense entirely, so eh, don't expect much from this.

But honestly, I think AI should never have been extended to the general public since there are so many problems it has caused. And oml don't get me STARTED on the environmental problems it has made. Sure, it may not be as serious as the mass production of CO2 in the atmosphere, but it's going to be there eventually at the top. I mean, with how AI is developing, it will require energy practically at a logarithmic scale. So at first when we had shitty chatbots it might've not required that much energy due to how little processing it had to do compared to chatbots nowadays. They have a bunch of info that they've been fed for such a long time that it would need a lot of cost to run the systems. If everyone has this sort of tool rather than just a couple of companies, which can highly monitor their usage, it leads to excessive use of resources, which leads to more cost than efficiency.

Like, honestly, the functionality of AI is very useful. It can work from large datasets and come up with a result that is comprehensible to people. And now AI has been used in many fields simply because it can elevate the speed of progression when it comes to research. That's where AI should be limited to, only imo. For example, we had so much trouble interpreting the folding of proteins because it's such a complex process that if you were to manually try to figure out the structure of a protein, it would take an unnecessary amount of time. But now with AIs that can actually take in all of that info and predict the structure of a protein. It has led to so many developments and minimized unnecessary steps, which actually lead to so many problems.

I've just had some anxiety about AI since overall it's pretty shitty due to how people are using it. Like legit, why are there so many people using things such as c.ai 😭 But from the perspective of science, it's VERY useful. But when you have something like GPT released to the general public, it causes so many problems that could've been prevented so easily.

Anyway, please do like to talk to me about this or something because I would want 2nd opinions on this :P
