A.I. Here, There, Everywhere + Bing’s A.I. Chat: ‘I Want to Be Alive

Today we are going to talk about two articles from the New York Times magazine.The first article is going to be the “A.I. Here, There, Everywhere” by Craig Smith who is going to talk about the decline of AI in our world and its effects on us, will present the good things as well as the problematic sides.The second article “I want to be alive” by Kevin Roose will be also about AI but presents it in a different way, from a different point of view.

AI is already in our lives in many aspects even if we notice it or not.It is in a very developing stage but is still in its initial stage, the brightest and greatest part is yet to come. It is true that it will become an integral part of our lives, and it already is, but in the future, it will be even more so. But the biggest problem we are facing right now is the violation of privacy that the system requires to be able to develop. We are currently trying to work on new methods in which they can use our data without completely damaging our private lives. The ai is already everywhere related to us, whether it is outside or at home but very soon it will develop to the level of face recognition and body recognition.In this way, she will be able to identify diseases and even assist in recovery because of identifying them early. In this way, she will be involved in our environment both comprehensively and personally for everyone. It already fully exists in the world of music, the world of television and streaming in very large companies that most of us know and use the services of these companies every day.Since ai works very similar to the human brain, it basically copies a thought, this causes the development of emotional intelligence and makes it very human. She will be able to create songs, develop personal conversations, simulate people who exist and do not exist. With its development and becoming more emotional and more realistic and the more two-dimensional it was, it could also enter the world of education to provide content and strategies to the world of students in a personal form that is adapted to each student. Right now, it touches and will touch every aspect of our lives such as education, health, medicines even the world of harvesting.It will make what we thought was impossible very possible and even beyond what we imagined, it was created and will develop to help us grow and reach places we never thought of.

The second article Bing’s Ai chat by the author Kevin Roose is about a conversation between an a Microsoft chat bot named “Bing” and Kevin the author of the article.The article describes a conversation that starts as a professional conversation, part of a test by Microsoft as an initial experience in using this chat bot. The conversation describes “Bing’s” reaction when Kevin starts asking her “personal” questions and not questions she is supposed to be asked. Finally he finds himself in front of a computer robot who “falls in love” with him and leaves him in a very problematic situation.Just the day before, his opinions about “Bing” were positive and following this conversation that led to the insights that “Bing” or “Sydney” are beginning to develop emotion and self-thinking, he changed his mind about it. He was even very frightened for a moment and remained stunned after this whole conversation.

So true, both articles talk about ai but they both approach it in a different way. The first article is based on research and presents the impact of AI on our lives, on where we are today and how it can harm us, for example privacy damage due to the use of data. The second article is based on the personal experience of the author of the article with an AI system, with a chat bot. He tells how “Bing” changed direction and he started to feel threatened and scared of the system. In my opinion, anything that is too extreme is bad. I think that it is important to exhaust the AI ​​and use it for the uses that come up for us, but not to try to replace it with humans. And if we as humans encounter a situation like Kevin’s, then I hope they stop it in time. I think that yes, it can prevent traffic accidents, save human lives, make it easier for us, but when is the line crossed? Are we willing to give up our privacy for this thing? Therefore, in my opinion, it should be used in addition to and not instead of humans and know where the border is crossed.
