I want to see everyone's thoughts about Drew Gooden's YouTube video, "AI is ruining the internet."
Let me start by saying that I really LOVE AI. It has enhanced my life in so many ways, especially in turning my scattered thoughts into coherent ideas and finding information during my research. This is particularly significant because, once upon a time, Google used to be my go-to for reliable answers. However, nowadays, Google often provides irrelevant answers to my questions, which pushed me to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity for more accurate responses.
Here is an example: I have an old GPS tracker on my boat and wanted to update its system. Naturally, I went to Google and searched for how to update my GPS model, but the instructions provided were all for newer models. I checked the manufacturer's website, forums, and even YouTube, but none had the answer. I finally asked Perplexity, which gave me a list of options. It explained that my model couldn't be updated using Wi-Fi or by inserting a memory card or USB. Instead, the update would come via satellite, and I had to manually click and update through the device mounted on the boat.
Another example: I wanted to change the texture of a dress in a video game. I used AI to guide me through the steps, but I still needed to consult a YouTube tutorial by an actual human to figure out the final steps. So, while AI pointed me in the right direction, it didn't provide the complete solution.
Eventually, AI will be fed enough information that it will be hard to distinguish what is real and what is not. Although AI has tremendously improved my life, I can see the downside. The issue is not that AI will turn into monsters, but that many things will start to feel like stock images, or events that never happened will be treated as if they are 100% real. That's where my concern lies, and I think, well, that's not good....
I would really like to read more opinions about this matter.
