Is AI really that bad?

Welcome to the new world of AI where it's either you win, or you lose. 

Every day we spend about 1.8 hours on search engines, gathering valuable information. Generative AI is extremely helpful in term of content creation where media and text can be generated in a matter of seconds, a benefit when time is money. But Artificial Intelligence is truly more than information. 

Some more applications consist of: 

1. Education: AI generates personalized learning, where learning plans are tailored to individual students’ needs. This makes learning easier and accessible. A global survey of 2024 states that a whopping 86% of students use AI in their schoolwork. Woah, guess I’m smart.  

2. Data Analysis: Data is generated for learning model, as simulation, to minimize the need of manual testing and collection. AI can analyse datasets, identifying patterns and insights. 

3. Healthcare and Medicine: Disease diagnoses, one of the biggest users of AI, analyse medical images, symptoms and conditions to design a personalised patient plan. Discovering new drugs and optimizing existing ones are also some applications. 

4. Marketing: Ever thought of chatbots as AI? Well, duh. Chatbots and virtual assistants dominate ecommerce communication systems thanks to artificial intelligence. Advertising through product recommendations and social media management are also a part of the AI program. 

5. Entertainment: Day by day, gaming and art moves toward automation. Through machine learning, new situations are “taught” to bring solutions with prior knowledge fed. 

While all the above sound very reasonable, AI comes as a disappointment due to the following failures: 

1. Misinformation: “This is robots, not human; it should not make a mistake.” However, lack of training data tends to put search engines on the spot to give something back – well they can’t when nothing sufficient is available, so they form something inauthentic. 

2. Lack of Originality:  Have you often looked up things, but you get rubbish for answers? And then you keep on looking and looking until you finally give up? That happens because human creativity is multifaceted and not yet fully understood so AI models struggle to replicate the intuition. 

3. Limited Reseach: This just simply means there is insufficient data... 

To sum it up, AI is bad, and it will take over the world someday – or not. We should use AI as less as possible since human creativity is unmatched and unique. It is okay to use AI at times since we all have a busy schedule.
