  • Excelled point. I think there are some legitimate uses of AI. Especially in image processing for science related topics.

    But for the most part, almost every common use is unethical. Whether it be the energy demands, (and its contributions to climate change), the theft of intellectual property, the spread of misinformation, and so much more. Overall, it’s a huge net negative on society.

    I remember hearing about the lawyer one. IIRC chatGPT was citing laws that didn’t even exist. How do you not check what it wrote? You wouldn’t blindly accept predictive word typing with your phones keyboard and autocorrect. So why would you blindly trust a fancier autocorrect?






  • I think you meant lag. But this is a good one. One of my favorite words. It seems to be used in technical settings a lot, especially for electricity. I read an article a while back that applied it to social situations I.e. social hysteresis. It applies to so many things its ridiculous.

    Two of my favorite:

    Why do people still think vaccines cause autism despite the overwhelming evidence against? Social hysteresis.

    Why do people think inflation is out of control in the US despite the fact that its been less than 3% for over a year? Social hysteresis. (Also because people want deflation)
