Why future AI will devolve the human race

+ It's no secret that AI already has made a substantial impact on our modern lives.
+ For some of us, "AI" has become just another tool that helps us trough the day. + If one donsn't know something, if one can't formulate a letter or if they want a creepy picture of a cat wearing a suit, AI is there to help!

+ + Many people (mostly elderly) see AI as the new human invention down the line. Maschines replaced hard labour, cars and trains replaced horses, + computers replaced even more. Man's invention has made life easier.
+ But is AI the next big thing that will finally replace the human brain?

+ + Taking a look at it: Yes
+ Nobody needs to write an E-Mail in coorperate speech. Just write what you want and the AI will transform it for you.
+ No time to respond to a text? Don't worry! AI can create a reply based on your personality and preferences.
+ Why research an article when AI can do it for you and even present it in a nice summarized way.
+ I could go on forever, what AI will and already has replaced in our daily lives.

+ + But let's take a look at one specific example:
+ ChatGPT or as some will also call it the "Bullshit Generator" has made a substantial impact on our school system.
+ Many studends, instead of doing their own homework, let the AI do it for them.
+ One may argue, that Google-Search had a similar impact but I disagree with that. Researching ones topic and getting help on the internet + is no different than learning it by book. By Google-Search one still needs to research the topic and still has to manually solve ones problem. + That's why we go to school! To solve the problems by ourselves and not rely on others to do it for us.

+ + ChatGPT and other Language-Based-Models have had a negative impact on studends. Instead of doing the work by themselves the AI does it for them, which doesn't teach the student!.

+ + A particular problem with for example ChatGPT is, that these Language models don't understand their response. ChatGPT is just a word predictor on steroids. + Dependent on the input and already generated text, the Language model predicts the next word to output.


+ + But let's change the topic as I can rant about this forever.

+ Everyone always talks about the environment, how we need so save energy. We have to switch off the lights, turn off the computer and drive less. + But they seem to forget, that cloud services like YouTube, Google and ChatGPT draw alot of power and water.
+ Comparing a simple Google Search to a ChatGPT query, we see that a Google Search consumes around 0.3 watt-hours of power while a ChatGPT query consumes 2.9 watt-hours (source).
+ This is a near 1000% increase in power consumption!

+ As time goes on, these Large-Language-Models will evolve further and grow, which of course will increase their power consumption.


+ + Thank you for reading. +
