AI is terrifying but maybe useful? - my thoughts on AI tools & content

The current world of generative AI is terrifying, but I do think some AI tools can be used for good. Please enjoy this video of me talking in circles and trying to figure out how I feel 😅

The other thing about AI is the environmental toll. The energy used in the training of the AI, all the servers used for it, all the electricity, all the physical materials needed (like the resources from Congo) play into it.
I appreciate you trying to talk about the potential upsides because I'm the same! I make a lot of physical art like embroidery or polymer clay. I suck at Photoshop. It would be so awesome to do a quick little mock up of my ideas. But I refuse to use any AI until it stops being so unethical in so many ways
(Also can you imagine 5 years from now all the AI generated correspondence lists. Ugh)

[@RoundtheCauldron]

You're right, I didn't even consider the environmental toll - it must be huge... 😭 everything about AI is just pretty terrible as it is right now.
You mention correspondence lists lol but you can literally go into chatGPT right now and ask it to generate a list like that and it has zero context. It's absolutely horrifying.

Fantastic video, thank you so much. I'm planning to make a video discussing the AI problem in the spiritual community (and as a whole) and your video is one of the few videos that actually addresses the issues with generative AI instead of praising it up and down. I hope you don't mind me referencing this in the future (... Eventually. I don't have the energy to type a literal essay and hunt down citations right now).
It hurts my heart as both an artist and nature-lover to see so many people in this community rely on AI art/chat GPT when it steals from us *and* is harming the planet. It confuses me how so much of the spiritual community doesn't seem aware of the harm the servers are causing, or even just how much it discourages artists both professional and growing.

Thank you for watching 💖 You are absolutely okay to reference my videos -- I look forward to what you have to share when you're able!
AI is 100% doing more harm than good and it's scary to think about. I hope something more positive comes from it but, knowing the state of the world right now, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

The human mind and their creativity 😊😅 sometimes it's hard to tell who's human and or present in this Reality or time sphere.

A I is out of control. When health insurance companies are using it to evaluate whether they should pay claims or not based on an algorithm. Then a human looks at the claim for less than 5 seconds and appeals get denied. I worked in that industry for over 20 years, I can't believe this is what it has come to.

[@RoundtheCauldron]

I 100% agree with that - AI is really a double-edged sword in that regard because it may make things faster, but it's only as good as the people behind it. An AI or algorithm should absolutely not be making decisions on whether claims are paid or not 👏 I couldn't imagine being in HIT anymore and how that's impacting the medical records and coding aspect, too. It's really horrible!
