AI - A force for Good or Bad?

So, am the opposite of you, not worried by the tech itself, more worried by the 'brain rot' caused by what that tech is delivering.

 

This is the shortest explanation I could find but there are many others, why on earth do we need this... I do not want any of this, sorry about the machine voice.

That's just the use of tech though they can do all that now if they wanted to, 6G just means the communications can go faster - in fact they could have done most of that 10 years and at 4G too...

 

I said above 6G as a tech doesn't worry me as much as the brain rot that we will use it for

Search engines, google,ebay, and others, 

anyone else notice how difficult it has become to search for any given item or information without the results being swamped with a myriad of non related items.

ask for information on any subject and ai will usually come up with something totally unrelated and  inaccurate.

it's as if every piece of online information that ever was is placed in one specific place and whatever the search is for ai just takes anything from it and projects it as the answer.

as an example I asked ebay to save a search for "TWO MAN OPERATED CHAINSAWS" among some of the totally unrelated items the search sent me were, an action man childs toy, ? and a rusty  victorian pram?in addition to anything with SAW in the title.

if this is how ai fails on such a simple request,, how confident can we be it won't feckup something far more serious. 

how reliable will it be using it's own polluted, corrupted view of the world.

It's obvious: AI is onto us,humans!  😳😁

Yes, I've noticed. We're drowning in AI slop and disinformation. I believe those are far more pressing concerns than mass unemployment, (and that's bad enough). 

 

I don't think we can be at all confident; AI is already fcking up far more serious things than simple eBay searches. Why people think that it should be deployed by already hopelessly incompetent governments or all powerful corporations or individuals is beyond me.

 

I've still not seen any convincing justification for it being pushed on all of us so rapidly. Other than to make a few knobs even more rich and influencial. We're sleeping running into disaster.

Duck. You can search with no AI, that should save a portion of my carbon footprint 🥰

Not sure that is going to float long enough for the ducks to eat that, try a loaf of glyphosate riddled bread instead 🍞
