A.I. Are you Excited?

[Lycanthrope]

Take a minute and explain your answer...

 

[Jiffy]

Fuck AI and the horse it rode in on.

I’m going back to my Alaskan cabin now..

 

[jake57]

that can go both ways, just like cell phones, fast food, alcohol, pot, daycare, the list goes on and on

 

[Fester]

AI will kill more jobs then what AI is worth in my opinion. Sure it can help with this or that but when you take jobs from people, that can have massive implications on society. I would feel better about it if there were some defined rules/laws in the global order.

 

[Kurtr]

Negative. Just look what social media has done

How the New MIT Study Worked​

The study, run by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and available online this month, split up participants into three groups, dubbed “LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools).”
The groups were studied across three sessions of essay-writing, while their cognitive load was tracked with electroencephalography (EEG). Their essays were analyzed, and were also scored by human teachers and an AI judge. The results?

“EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use.” -the study

The study also notes that LLM users “struggled to accurately quote their own work,” which makes sense, given that it was more the LLM’s work.

Previous Studies Also Found AI Makes Us Dumb​

Scientific research is all about verifying results through repetition, so we’re happy to announce that this isn’t the first study that has indicated that AI use makes humans use their brains less.

One January 2025 study titled “AI Tools in Society: Impacts on Cognitive Offloading and the Future of Critical Thinking” found that “Younger participants exhibited higher dependence on AI tools and lower critical thinking scores compared to older participants.” Using AI is a form of cognitive offloading, the study found — it saves the brain from completing cognitive tasks itself.

In another study from February, researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University polled 319 “knowledge workers” to find that participants with higher confidence in AI tools held lower confidence in their own critical thinking skills.

AI tools may be able to supplement critical thinking. Use them too often, studies indicate, and they’ll replace it instead.

Don't listen to me this is what AI says on the matter

AI has the potential to greatly benefit society through increased efficiency, improved healthcare, and enhanced education, but it also raises ethical concerns and challenges that must be addressed.

Benefits of AI​

1. Increased Productivity: AI can automate repetitive tasks, allowing humans to focus on more complex and creative work. This leads to greater efficiency in various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, and service industries.
   
   
2. Healthcare Improvements: AI technologies are revolutionizing healthcare by enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and improved patient outcomes. For instance, AI can analyze medical imaging and large datasets to identify patterns that may be missed by human practitioners.
   
   
3. Enhanced Education: AI can provide personalized learning experiences, adapting to individual student needs and helping educators manage administrative tasks more effectively. This can lead to better educational outcomes and more engaged learners.
   
   
4. Economic Growth: AI is expected to contribute significantly to the global economy, driving innovation and creating new job opportunities in emerging fields. It can also help businesses make better decisions through data analysis and predictive modeling.
   
   
5. 
   
   
   

Challenges and Concerns​

1. Ethical Issues: The deployment of AI raises important ethical questions, including concerns about privacy, data security, and the potential for bias in AI algorithms. Ensuring that AI systems are transparent and fair is crucial for maintaining public trust.
   
   
2. Job Displacement: While AI can create new job opportunities, it may also lead to job losses in certain sectors, particularly for roles that involve routine tasks. This necessitates a focus on retraining and upskilling the workforce to adapt to the changing job landscape.
   
   
3. Dependence on Technology: As society becomes more reliant on AI, there is a risk of diminishing critical thinking skills and human judgment. It is essential to strike a balance between leveraging AI's capabilities and maintaining human oversight.
   
   
4. 
   
   
   

Conclusion​

In summary, AI presents both significant opportunities and challenges for society. Its ability to enhance productivity, improve healthcare, and transform education is promising, but it is essential to address the ethical implications and potential job displacement associated with its adoption. A proactive approach to governance and ethical frameworks will be necessary to maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks.

I'm with Jiffy , I'll just hunker down in the hills and watch it unfold. I'll probably pull every Nickle I own of accounts at some point and deal with cash instead of plastic. I can see some people being less smart because they will rely on AI to think for them but I'm pretty sure people that want to be smart people will be way smarter.

That probably won't be doable at some point. Hell there's places that don't take cash now.

no doubt AI will unlock huge potential in some individuals, but at the same time it will make the unmotivated, less motivated. We might get to the point where reproduction is limited to selected individuals, when low IQ laborers are no longer needed!

I actually think its gonna be opposite. AI isnt gonna fix your toilet but it can write a report on theoretical physics...

 

[wslayer]

Not a fan, hard enough these days to tell what's real and what's not. Future generations are gonna be lacking in the education dept if all ya have to do is ask AI. Common sense will be no more. . . My .02¢

AI and Drones

 

[LBrandt]

It only teaches not to think for one's self. LB

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

Technology and the internet are already turning us into fat, soft turds with ten second attention spans. Do we really need it thinking for us too?

 

[SupressYourself]

I work with AI every day. It will be the end of humanity. The only questions are when and how.

 

[lunkerslayer]

With the help of ai and brain implants like the ones elon has been researching on will help fix many brain issues that science hasnt been able to fix with drugs. Being able to connect to an ai computer to find exactly why someone is paralyzed by sending a signal trough the spinal cord to were exactly the damage is and use nanotechnology to repair these nerves. With the help of ai in the next decade we will see better research that will be able to be run through computer simulation first before clinical trials happen, once ai has successfully mapped out the entire dna sequence, drugs will be able to be refined to your specific dna, which will help with less side effects. No al will help mankind until someone evil makes a supervirus that kills billions. I like google ai when researching because it gives me what exactly i am looking for without needing to look through web pages to find it.
