Brains are a muscle, in order to keep it strong and healthy, we need to exercise it. In order to exercise our brains, we need to experience productive struggles. Through the process of figuring out a tricky task or puzzle, we give our brains the workout it needs in order to stay fully functional!
Paradigm Shifts
1993 – Internet Comes to the Home
This was a revolutionary time, when all of a sudden, any person who paid for the internet could access so much information just with the click of a button. People didn’t have to wait and watch the News to get the weather, they could simply look it up!
2023 – AI Comes to the Home
Now, internet is very common, a new big invention takes over, there is a robot that collects information from all over the internet. You can ask it a question and get a full detailed answer in seconds. It takes away the cognitive load of having to read and comprehend multiple different studies and websites.
Both of these technological developments brought forward both new opportunities, and new challenges. Including whether or not the information is reliable, and what the impact is on the environment. Many apps and digital features now include AI, and some are even unable to run without it. Will it eventually get to the point where everyone is forced to use AI in some way unless they stay completely offline?
Data Centre are required for AI’s to be operational, but they are using up land, water, and other resources. Is it ethical to use AI when it currently does so much damage to our environment? There are videos and article about people who live near data centres. They face low water pressure, water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, and even light pollution! Are they expected to either tough it out or move? They were living there before the Data centre moved in.
Attempt at a Re-Brand
Because of the negativity surrounding data centres, they have attempted to re-brand themselves as ‘Compute Campuses’ but the only things that are ‘learning’ on these campuses are the AI’s. They are still the same resource destroying data centres, and a name change wont change what they do.
Copywrite Issues
- Who owns copywrite for the AI outputs?
- Is it the person who put in the prompt?
- Is it the people that the AI got its information from?
- AI results are currently formed from stolen source material
- Currently, there is no copywrite for AI outputs
Biases
- Most information it is given is from the Western Perspective
- AI’s take information from everywhere, including places like
- Social Media
- un-reliable sources
- Biased data will result in biased responses
