Why Generative AI is Bad for Everyone?
First let me be clear that I am a big supporter of AI Machine Learning and other emerging technologies, but I have concerns related to Generative AI particularly.
I’ve spent more than 2 years researching Generative AI behavior and how it operates, after that only I’d like to share my opinion on it.
Automated Theft
Generative AI is a large language model with huge datasets, it crawls anything available on the Web without the consent of the origin source. This is digital theft.
Marketing people would know about the two infamous tools Content Scraper and Content Spinner that was under scrutiny by leading Search Engines to keep online search helpful with genuine user generated content.
Generative AI is a combination of Content Scraper and Content Spinner, and the worse part is that it has been legitimized by the Search Engines.
When we create content for our business it explains products, services, and how it could be useful to customers.
Generative AI will automatically steal that content from your website, regenerate it with small variation for its own platforms without passing traffic to origin source. Here, you lose website visitors, and prospects.
In some case, Generative AI mentions source in the corner of bottom where nobody really reads because lazy people use Generative AI to skip looking lengthy content produced by experts.
Ultimately, you are creating content for Generative AI tools, what’s the point in doing this?
Destroying Corporations
AI Machine Learning is not a new technology, it used to exist in 2010s, Generative AI is just a subset of it. Companies are investing billions in Generative AI while people are not ready to pay for this thing because there are good alternatives available for absolutely free for lifetime.
Global tech companies are investing in Generative AI to kill its bread and butter businesses. Take the example of Search Engines and Social Media. Social Media and Search Engine are freeware their revenue comes from Advertisements through user engagement on platform.
Search Engines and Social Media platforms have built their own GenerativeAI Chatbots, now the users are spending more time on Free Chatbots rather than exploring online search and social networking.
Declining user engagement on a platform results in less Ad revenues. This is killing Global tech giants, and we can see the impact on Ad revenues.
Revenue fall of tech companies will have a catastrophic effect on the US Stock Markets. Therefore, the Corporations should stop self-defeating strategies to pump AI hype.
The old ways of promoting meaningful Machine Learning development through cloud services was effective 10 years ago, it will remain effective 100 years from now.
Sustainable AI investments are key to build a better future. Investments in Chips and cloud infrastructure are meaningful, because we need that for machine learning developments.
We must eliminate Generative Bots from the mainstream AI developments to focus more on genuine machine learning for industrial development.
Cannibalism
There is an unusual tendency among humans to empower machines overlooking the welfare of society. Instead of using AI to enhance the capabilities of the human brain and body, the industry is giving more power to the machines.
Growing cannibal instinct among humans is a serious concern. Human society can prosper only when we empower ourselves, not the machines.
The sadistic pleasure of snatching away the livelihood of billions of people organizing a digital theft powered by GenerativeAI will destroy the human civilization.
The Future of AI
I believe the AI Machine Learning development in the last decade was thoughtful compare to the present day AI race driven by FOMO.
Tech Industry has lost its way, and it’s our job to bring it back on track to maintain profitability and innovations.
Our focus should be on industrial grade machine learning development to create new opportunities for businesses. Making sure that machine learning tools can be programmed by IT companies for factories, stores and offices.
We also need to support industrial training institutes to educate workforce that can operate AI Machine Learning tools in factories and corporate offices.
Thoughtful AI implementation will help to avoid economic chaos. Tech sector was already working this way but suddenly Generative AI shifted the attention from core issues.
Generative AI is a very small component of AI which is destroying the global economy. We must utilise AI carefully to empower human beings.
