AI is the savior in a sea of often misinformation, or worse.
Recent critique rightly so, point to various potential environmental and other concerns regarding mega AI data-centers -which agreed, need thinking & regulatory scrutiny and more.
To counterbalance, AI is the great true info-empowerment to most of humanity, with just a few clicks. We live in a world often spotted with misinformation, false news, biased claims, confusion and even delusions -of all sorts! Claims of all sorts are made, often with some biases. Variety of basic information or even knowledge is distorted -or misinterpreted -or/and yes, plain wrong. “Half-truths can be a whole lie”, comes to mind. AI puts all such distorters -on guard.
While AI responses are not perfect, they are better than anything humanity ever had before. Not least allowing consumers of all kinds from company CEO to lowest skill worker to check and learn if something is likely true, or not and beyond. On just about all subjects. Besides, AI is a proven new tremendous productivity enhancer for all kinds of companies, researchers, investors, governments etc..big and small.
AI will eliminate some jobs along with a variety of other real environmental concerns, ah but while empowering all of us in soo many different new ways. On a whole, AI is the real savior, just in time, in a sea of ever more confusion many/most of us live in/with.
