This seems to be a very hotly contested issue these days. But the dawn of AI becoming widespread coincided with my efforts to avoid reading stressful things in online news, so I haven’t read that much about it. But I would assume that, like with many technological advances, there is the potential for great benefits (making finding information easier, allowing you to create your own images for online media easily, helping people who have learning disabilities to consume information that’s currently inaccessible) but also potential significant down sides (taking work from or reusing the work of artists and writers, being misused, creating erroneous or misguided information). These are just guesses because I have done no research, but my point really is that there are likely pros and cons, regardless of whether I’ve accurately guessed at them here.
For those who are better informed than I am, what are some potential benefits or down sides to it? Did I guess right on any of my examples?
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is a blog hop hosted every Wednesday by Long and Short Reviews. The weekly prompts range widely, including both book-related and non-book-related topics. The idea is to get bloggers to interact, share a bit about their lives and connect with other bloggers. Click here for the list of upcoming topics, and visit here to join in the fun!
Yeah, I mean in time I’m sure there will be more (good and bad) reports about it. But right now that seems to be the consensus on it.
Yeah… I have really no idea what’s happening with it, and have heard both positive and negative things about it for sure. I’m kind of just leaving it alone since it’s not like I have any input, and hoping for the best (or not too baddest??)!
I don’t think what we’re seeing so far is artificial intelligence so much as it is sophisticated mechanical data processing.
I don’t even know the difference! I’m not a particularly techy person, so I’m just sort of waiting on the sidelines for those who are more technically inclined to sort it out and crossing my fingers!
Yes, this is how I feel, as well.
I’m sure we’ll hear more about how it’s going as it progresses!
You’re right, there are great benefits and downsides to most technological advancements. For instance, the benefits of A.I. in the medical and research fields are innumerable.
I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re completely right! I suspect that, like everything, there are going to be bumps in the road. But hopefully it’ll be more positive than negative and will offer some life-saving – or at least significantly life-improving – up sides!
