Question about AI (lemmy.world)

As I've said elsewhere, I'm a little older. I hear a lot about AI. I'm just trying to figure out what's "good" AI, what's "bad" and if there's even a difference. I do know that there's the whole stealing content to train AI bs going on, but is it deeper? Is there such a thing as good AI? Just trying to learn so I can be better person

Here's a fairly well researched and entertaining video about ai and some of the downsides.

some more news

Long story short, in my opinion, there's isn't a good AI. The things it sets out to do, it does poorly, and there's ethical, bodily, environmental, and mental concerns with it.

AI has shown to be more detrimental than beneficial. If you overlook the over dependence on it, especially among children. The light pollution of their centers and crowding out water and electricity in small towns. The cost increase of electronics for just a plan to buy it all out. It just does things so poorly that the most modest of competent people out perform it.

There is good AI, because LLMs are not the only type of AI.

I'm not that well informed on the specifics of the topic but I would say that AI has a lot of potential to do good in medical applications. I believe there was quite a bit of research into detecting various forms of cancer earlier and more reliably by using neural networks.
