Thanks for that- I was just discussing this very thing yesterday with family- it can be good, especially when something like chat ai is used to scour the internet for new articles on specific medical issues that even the experts may be unaware of as that info may have just recently been discovered and put online etc- which can then be examined like you say in an instant- and any relevant info on the topic presented by the Chat AI program- This woudl be especially relevant to people with mystery diseases or conditions where a doc can find all current info on the symptoms etc, and what the disease might be- to narrow down the field of possibilities-
On the flipside, There is supposedly a new tech coming out using AI to mimic a person’s voice where scammers use AI to analyze captured voice of a person- then in seconds, it can supposedly speak using that person’;s voice- the hackers/scammers then use it to make calls to the person’s family members pleading for $$ to ‘stay out of jail’ or whatever-
Have been having conversations with folks over AI ‘taking over Art’ and ‘putting artists out of work’ etc- not gonna happened based on what i see produced by AI text to image programs- they still look very ‘computer generated’ to me- but, what it can do is create unique work which the artist can then take and create their own unique style that look nothing like AI generation, from what the AI produces-
AI is a double edged sword
AI is absolutely 100% a double edged sword, and not in most stupid, dark, recesses of my brain would I trust good nature and intelligence of humankind to ensure it is never used for stupid or evil puposes.
It is something we need to begin the battle now for, but...that genie may already be out of the bottle.
Dammit.
