Future of AI Problem we all need to be aware of
We’re all happy A.I. is currently nothing like the old movies depicted them to be. In fact, A.I. is not artificial intelligence at all. In simple terms, it computes at an extraordinary level. It allows machine learning and for it to come up with algorithms for decision making. Most AI references are a marketing term. For example, I found a camera that uses AI to recognize human poses. Which makes it sound like the camera has a chip that recognizes people and their poses, then makes their decision. But in truth, what is happening is they used machine learning to analyze human poses, put those algorithm into the camera. The camera is computing the algorithm. Not exactly “AI” you thought it was.
Once, we thought AI would be used in robotics, automations or decision making. While those are still a possibility and in use to an extent, something happened. Suddenly AI technology has been deployed to creative art space. AI is now creating expressions of art that initially was deemed impossible or at least in the distant future.
AI is being used to generate images, arts, poems, written work, etc. Companies like ChatGPT makes it possible to write and create content in seconds. This has obvious inherit issues. Using it to create something that is not your own. Cheating in schools being another obvious one. But there is a grander problem than all of this we are headed towards.
Programs like ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies gather their “knowledge” from other sources especially from the web. So it goes through tons and tons of data out there and creates your request according to what it has learned. The problem is that the resources out there are becoming more and more AI generated. So if more and more people start posting with AI generated content, right or wrong, the AI will search the web and find its own generated content and spit out a new set of data that itself has generated. With each iteration, the AI is now creating contents of its own design on the web. Without human intervention, AI will influence nearly all aspects of our lives. This can be problematic.
There has also been some argument about whether AI content can be copyrighted. At the time of this article, all AI generated content cannot be copyrighted.
What kind of web remains will be a mystery so far. What will AI keep, add, or subtract to existing human content? What will, for example, happen to the bible. It will eventually start quoting non-existent content or heretical content and quote it as real. Articles will start generating with this info and answers to questions will be given with this base information.
I am hoping some research and blockage will be added as necessary. AI has totally added a new world of false information.
