Ai Is Bad

When prompted with the question of ‘Is AI good’ most people, surprisingly, had no preference and answered ‘meh’. ‘Meh’ beat ‘yes’ by a staggering 7%, and ‘yes’ destroyed ‘no’ by 47%. There were two main mentalities for the majority of the people who took the survey and answered ‘meh’. The first mentality is that they don’t know enough about it to decide if Ai is good or bad. All the responses like this made me realize that people think Ai is good or bad based on how much they know about it. At first, people have no opinion on it because they don’t know much about it, then as they learn about it they either think it’s really good or really bad depending on what they hear about it. If they hear that it’s helping students study effectively they would think it’s good, but if they heard it’s making it easier for students to cheat they would think it’s bad. Then as they learn even more about it they hear both sides of the argument and fall back to ‘meh’.

This leads to the second mentality which is that there is both good and bad coming out of Artificial intelligence. Ai is helping advance technology really quickly and make lives easier through programs like ChatGPT, but these same programs can be used for malicious intent, like cheating on homework. All the positive responses that we received from this survey said about the same thing, that Ai is helping us be more efficient, progress faster, etc, etc, except they left out the second part about the negatives of AI. The negative responses did the same thing except flipped. This proves the fact that AI is a neutral thing and that it is a good thing or not depending on how we use it.

“I think it will come eventually no matter what, so why shouldn’t we get used to it now? ChatGPT helps countless students understand topics that they would never even have considered before. And Call-E has more use cases than you could imagine”

“AI has already been used for deception and I think people will continue to use it for that”

“AI has already been used for deception and I think people will continue to use it for that”

“Jobs are getting taken by AI”

“It has no way of knowing if it is doing something that will help or hurt humanity. It could do something”

“There are many advantages to AI, which gives us things like self-driving cars, but there are also some negativs. Its scary how good AI has become”

“Idek, this survey kinda sucks ngl”

“I dont know much about it”
