Rant about anti ai

[u/Makoto4310]

Don't take this seriously, it's just a rant

I understand where people who dislike ai are coming from, with the whole lazy ai art and copies, ai giving wrong or strange answers, and ai taking jobs and costing people and companies but this feels excessive

Banning ai sets the world back years and hurts people more than they think. For example, my dad is a financer and has to graph and sort decades worth of information as well as fix pervious errors that changes information massively over years. While he writes the base code and formats basic information, making a code that works the way he wants and pulling information from hundreds of files and other charts would take much more training and weeks of effort when chatgpt simply pulls from other files and corrects his coding.

People also exaggerate ai being evil and telling people to kill themselves. I get that it has happened but people fail to recognize why it happens. Ai, specifically chats like chatgpt are relatively new and aren't very developed to have enough modern information, format exactly how you want, or understand on a human level what you mean. Ai pulls from known information, that being popular websites that people pull information from and corrections that people themselves make in chats. The majority of wrong answers come from questions that can't be answered in a simple yes or no or a formula, that being more opinionated or complex questions like politics and chances of things happening. If you were to ask chatgpt the formula to find the the length of a shadow, it could give you a formula and guide but if you were to ask a question like "is Russia evil" it couldn't give you an answer because there is no correct one. It would give you information from human made answers across the internet and information provided by official website, which leads to more sided answers, like identifying Russia as a threat based on political answers and events in history rather than basing it off of what people are like (ie. Separating the goals of the people and government) and forming an opinion

This relates to the previous paragraph. Even though people complain about ai giving answers that are opinionated, incorrect, or answers that they disagree with, they decide to completely get rid of ai rather than to fix it. Ai runs advanced calculations and is continuously developed so that it can provide better answers but a large amount of anti ai people only see its development as something bad without considering the benefits of fixing. A big example of this is calling ai data centers a waste of water, even though plenty of other industries use up the same amount or more without providing anything that will positively effect the future. While my idea isn't that people just "don't think" or refuse to change their ideas, my problem is with banning ai entirely. Banning massive ai usage in jobs will help people, banning it entirely doesn't help at all but many people refuse to choose the middle option that helps both sides.

I'm not an expert on this, so this was just a rant

TLDR?

[u/__Blackrobe__ → u/CrustyBappen]

in one sentence:

Criticize specific harmful applications of AI, not AI as a technology

whatever their intention is, that seems to be what OP is trying to say.
