I genuinely don’t get it. Its a fucking trash chatbot that’s doing perceivably nothing beyond taking jobs away from people?
Like am I an insane outlier here when it comes to AI and robotics? I cant imagine having a fucking robot in my home, let alone one run by an AI. Nor can I understand why the fuck people want their cars to have it in them with the ability to monitor their biometrics.
Maybe I’m just the outlier here, but I genuinely have no interest in the slop machines or their potential clanker bodies and see no use in them.
Articles come out all the time that mention AI being able to detect different diseases months or years before symptoms present. It can be trained to sift through lifetimes worth of data and recognize patterns. There’s no way that’s not useful.
The wider social, economic, and environmental impacts are definitely issues that should be looked into but the tech itself is a marvel. The AI hate, I think, mostly comes down to chatbots and the companies pushing them.
You have to be very careful with such articles. They’re vulnerable to the same AI hype cycles as anything else. And those systems rarely work as well as the people selling them claim they do. Those articles you’re reading are written from the press releases of for-profit companies. The technology is also being used for mass medical fraud.
