Is Artificial Intelligence Good or Bad for Society?

As we all know, artificial intelligence is a very newfound technology in our growing world, while many support and encourage it, others may have different beliefs on what it could do or how it could impact society. There are many reasons to both sides of this newfound technology and what it is capable of. Whilst many are worried are about AI taking over jobs others think that it could do our jobs better than we ever could.

 

Some of the upsides to using AI- aren't only for production and factory purposes, AI could be used as a command center to complete certain actions quicker and more efficient. Also, AI could be used as a easier and faster way to find information as it can search the internet at light speeds. It also could be used as a program to help and talk to people who are lonely, a great example of AI being used this way is the new snapchat AI chatbot, It was made to help and talk to people as their very own companion. But, AI can be used many other ways to benefit society and its potential is incredible, as we have only scratched the surface of what AI can do.

 

Although there are many benefits of AI there is some possible downsides such as, it could take away peoples ability of manual labor, and this could be detrimental to society because their are people who value what they do as a job and would not like it to be taken over and done better by a robot. At the same time the AI chatbots could pose a threat to casual interaction, some people could like talking to this AI than other actual people. Another reason is that AI could threat our knowledge at the same time, because while schools teach kids, the AI could just provide answers or do the work for them like the new AI ChatGPT which is doing essays and papers for students and not allowing them to do it on their own and learn the material.

 

In my opinion I think that the benefits and potential of AI is so great that it would be a shame and a huge mistake to let such an amazing new era in technology go away, I think that AI's potential is to great for it to just be thrown away, it could help fix some world issues extremely fast and do certain things faster and better than humans can, overall I think it would make society a better place and help the world run smoother.

  • I have before used AI chats but I always hit a brick wall with them, they are not technologically advanced enough yet to warrant concern in my opinion. I think in the distant future AI could be more advanced and more concerning. 

  • I have tested out the AI chatbot, but it seemed really sketchy and I don't like having it on my phone. I wish they had the option to delete it because it seems a little scary. I don't think AI should be in the workforce because that would cause more and more people to lose jobs and we already have an unemployment issue in the U.S. and I feel like AI will just make it worse.

  • I think having AI should be an option. I think Snapchat AI is extremely creepy. I think AI will also continue to advance and keep getting better and better and I honestly find it a little bit disturbing. It could make the workforce better, but it could also take away jobs.

  • I personally have never used an AI chatbot, and probably never will. I think that artificial intelligence could make the workforce better and more effective in some areas, but it could also cut a lot of jobs. I would personally be pretty mad if I got replaced with an AI at my job. 

  • I don't think that I would ever actually use an AI chatbot. A social interaction with an actual human would be way more beneficial. I think that an AI would make a workforce more effective, but I don't think that it is right. I think that introducing AI will take too many jobs from people and make unemployment worse.

  • I think AI could be good and bad for society. It just depends on how people use and continue to update the current AI. I definitely think that if people don't create or update the AI correctly then AI could take over jobs.

  • In SnapChat they have a MyAI and I have only used it a few times just to have fun and see what it says but I would not use it in any other ways. Also AI in the workforce is nothing unfamiliar it is used in some workplaces to make workplace decisions. But I would not like having an AI taking my job. That is one of the problems of AI that it will take jobs.

  • No, I would not use it because I think that it is dumb and it is just a faster google. No, I think that it should not be in the workforce because if you need a answer and it keeps giving you the same answer then it will not help you. I would not be happy if AI took my job.

  • I do not like to use the AI chatbot on snap. I think it is really weird because it knows where you are at all times and it knows everything about you. I think that AI should not be added in the workforce or in anything because what is the point of talking to the chatbot if you add it. I would be super mad if it took my job and if it started taking everyone's job.

  • In my opion there is no need for the AI, it is just there for people to use if they are bored. I personally don't use it cause I don't see the point in talking to a computer. Find friends that you can talk to, not just a computer that just repondes with questions.
