is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
It's two different things. Analytical AI basically recognizes patterns and so can detect cancer for instance quicker than having a person look at the data manually. It's useful, helpful and can make a positive difference. Generative AI exists purely to plagiarize information and art and spew out nonsensical garbage and tell people what they want to hear while consuming massive amounts of energy and clean water to do so. It's a fucking plague and everyone involved in making or using it should be ashamed and try using their one remaining brain cell instead before it gives up, rots and dies like the rest of them.
