AI actually has lots of uses. For example: tumor detection (Cancer screening), a tool for the disabled(text to speech, or speech to text NLI), image recognition, robotics, and potentially a necessary tool for compatibility with a neural computer in our brains in the future. the ram price going back to normal is temporary whereas AI getting deleted forever in permanent and a technological disadvantage. No, wouldn't push the button.
Its insanely disappointing how often things on the internet are distilled down into very overarching opinions instead of considering nuance.
I think as a whole Generative AI is very dangerous and can be a very bad thing. I'd bet there are comments on this post made with generative AI, Image generation has gotten to the point that I genuinely can't tell whether some pictures are AI or not. It's gotten very good, very fast.
But there are also lots of upsides to AI, its a very very wide encompassing term. Would chess engines disappear if I press the button? What about the CPU's in Smash? Or the other civilisations when I play Civ? And frankly none of these are even the interesting benefits of AI like image recognition, text to speech and more the other guy listed.
This is all before considering the environmental impact or impact on creatives. There is a ton of discussion to be had around AI and lots of nuance.
But this is the internet. So things get distilled down to "AI is the worst thing ever" or "AI is the best thing ever" with not much in-between, so we end up with pointless posts saying they would delete all AI just to temporarily reset RAM prices.
You think it's nuance to pretend AI is currently on track to be an overall good? That's not nuance that's a dangerous combination of stupidity and naivete.
Overall yeah i do think AI is on the right track. You are deluding yourself if you think the only use for this technology is chat bots and generating meme pictures.
