AI chatbots are strange to begin with. They can be useful in the hands of experts but they create even more information overflow than what we already had before them.
And they are killing the planet with the power consumption of their data centers which are much bigger than even the biggest data centers before them.
And their training data lags behind and is often incorrect.
Let's look at disinformation.
Disinformation can spread on the internet fairly fast and it gets repeated by publishers that the AI bots get trained with.
The result is that in addition to fighting multiple sources of disinformation, one has to chat with the bots forcing them to re-train themselves.
From my perspective, there is no real gain. Resources are just consumed faster, this time by robots.
I cannot see how this can be reversed. The genie is out of the bottle.
See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradoxThe Jevons Paradox is interesting for sure.
Notice how the leftist solution is to raise the price on consumers (presumably with taxes/fees) to counter the paradox.
AI is like an infant crawling out of the crib.
Imho it is a major mistake to draw any conclusions from those efforts—the infant could become a Mother Theresa or a Mass Murderer or just a harmless average citizen.
