AI can’t be all that bad. The problem I’m always seeing with AI is a double-edged sword. You have corporations shoving AI in just about everything, treating it like its a cure for cancer and that really rubs people the wrong way. Then, on a more of a society level, you’ve got people who use AI for an assortment of things like making art with AI and still accredit themselves as an artist to people who treat AI like a therapist when it is not advised to.
However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.
I’m good with asking DuckDuckGo for help with a game and AI scrapes the game sites to just give me the answer. You know, sites like IGN and Dutch with popups and ads and other trash… and AI just steps past all that shit and gets me the answer. I’m fine with that. All these sites are just scraping guides and such, I don’t mind if they get stepped on.
Like, tell me how to save both the Geth or the Quarians in Mass Effect 3. So if you don’t know, Mass Effect was this kinda mediocre space shooter with magic, and it was fun… but then you get to the second one and it remembers all your choices, and there’s so much to do. And the Geth were the bad guys in the first one. And if you’re playing a male character, the Quarian is this hot middle eastern type lady you can romance. Then you meet a nice Geth (it’s a long story and the game is longer) and by the third one, you do this mission, it’s a lot of bullshit, then this bullshit boss fight, then you get put on the spot. I’m not going to spoil it, but for like 99.99% of us, one of your crew dies. And it sucks. But if you made some very specific choices, going back to the very first one… you can save both. I’m talking like 100+ hours since you made a mistake that didn’t even matter then, but it locks you out of saving one of your people. Stuff like that.
