Comment on Why do people hate AI so much?
rabiezaater@piefed.social 17 hours agoYour response is a perfect example of the hyperbolic hate against AI I see.
Why exactly should AI stay in the medical field, but be restricted from every other field? What about medicine makes it worth using, but makes it useless and evil in every other field?
AI does not copy. It takes things as inspiration and synsthesizes it into something new, just like anyone else. I know an artist who worked for the simpsons. He does a lot of his own work now in the simpsons style. Is he plagiarizing Matt Groening because he is using that style? Or is he just inspired by his time working there?
No, AI is not taking water from people. AI uses a very small amount of the total water, and industrial agriculture uses thousands of times more water overall. The ogalala aquifer and Colorado River started drying up before AI even came to be.
From here out are all actually pretty good reasons. The hardware thing sucks, and I wish the government was not so in bed with these companies that they let them just hoard all the hardware like they do. I think the internet in general has been making people stupider for a while, but AI has certainly accelerated it. The hallucination is annoying as shit, but it has gotten better over time, to a certain extent.
Definitely acknowledge all those down sides. Again though, it’s like any technology that has pluses and minuses. I guess the question is whether we should throw out all the benefits and assume the negatives are unfixable, or should we try to look at how we can solve them?

The hate isn’t hyperbolic. Its justified as all the reasons I gave. Just because you see AI as a net benefit, you think my hate is hyperbolic. You’re argument of using “little total water” and “agg using more” are flawed arguments. Its using precious water that we dont have enough of, for useless ai slop. Yes agg uses a huge amount of water, but we need to eat.
Ai doesn’t take inspiration, its a computer program. Inspiration is uniquely human. Someone who draws in the style of matt G is one thing, a machine that copies the style is not “inspired by”
Yes it should stay in the medical field because that’s where there is a net benefit.

So you’re saying that medical is the ONLY single place where the pros out weight the cons? You said we need to eat, so what about agriculture? What about science/engineeing in general? Why the arbitrary line in the sand at medical?
Also, if AI is so faulty and flawed, why would you want to use it in situations where lives are on the line, but condemn it’s use for lower stakes situations

Yes
I said we need to eat in reference to water use.
Do you know how ai is used in the medical field?

I don’t know the specifics, but not sure how that is relevant. Why does the field it’s being applied in make a difference? Is medicine the only field you view as truly impactful and valuable? Or do you really view the down sides as that dramatically terrible that the only possible way those downsides could be justified is by saving a life?
