<h2 class="titlebar">Why future AI will devolve the human race</h2>
It's no secret that AI already has made a substantial impact on our modern lives.<br>
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!<br><br>
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.<br>
But is AI the next big thing that will finally replace the human brain?<br><br>
Taking a look at it: <b>Yes</b><br>
Nobody needs to write an E-Mail in coorperate speech. Just write what you want and the AI will transform it for you.<br>
No time to respond to a text? Don't worry! AI can create a reply based on your personality and preferences.<br>
Why research an article when AI can do it for you and even present it in a nice summarized way.<br>
I could go on forever, what AI will and already has replaced in our daily lives.<br><br>
But let's take a look at one specific example:<br>
ChatGPT or as some will also call it the "Bullshit Generator" has made a substantial impact on our school system.<br>
Many studends, instead of doing their own homework, let the AI do it for them.<br>
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 <u>research</u> the topic and still has to <u>manually</u> solve ones problem.
That's why we go to school! To solve the problems by <u>ourselves</u> and not rely on others to do it for us.<br><br>
ChatGPT and other Language-Based-Models have had a negative impact on studends. Instead of <u>doing the work by themselves</u> the AI does it for them, which <u>doesn't teach the student!</u>.<br><br>
A particular problem with for example ChatGPT is, that these Language models <u>don't understand their response</u>. ChatGPT is just a word predictor on steroids.
Dependent on the input and already generated text, the Language model <i>predicts</i> the next word to output.<br><br><hr><br>
<b>But let's change the topic</b> as I can rant about this forever.<br><br>
Everyone always talks about the <i>environment</i>, 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 <b>water</b>.<br>
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 (<a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/AI-poised-to-drive-160-increase-in-power-demand"><i>source</i></a>).<br>
This is a near 1000% increase in power consumption!<br><br>
As time goes on, these Large-Language-Models will evolve further and grow, which of course will increase their power consumption.<br><br><br>
Thank you for reading.
