A user shares their perspective on AI, acknowledging criticisms from artists but highlighting its positive potential in healthcare, arguing against blanket rejection.
Now I myself have not used AI a ton beyond making a funny picture or two on ChatGPT/Gemini and maybe asking it a few things on the fly if I need a second opinion on something - and sometimes it's been helpful. The biggest thing I hear from the "Fuck AI" crowd is that it ruins the creative circles like artists, authors, etc. because it copies their work. I sympathize with their hate, but I've heard an argument that it's not doing anything different than what we do when/if AI didn't play a role in anything: look at other people's work for inspiration then create something. Like we can't create a song in a vacuum, we need to learn and be exposed to music theory, notes, other styles of music, instruments, etc. So someone starting a band didn't make something brand new, it took pieces from other artists. And the part that makes me sing AIs praises, so to speak, is its use in the medical field. [Doctor Mike posted a video about a year ago talking about this.](https://youtu.be/Fp5jvu70dyU?si=nKAfXEl-ANb77vDU) Like, if it's improving healthcare to the point that it's detecting life threatening things to help doctors treat and cure us more effectively and efficiently, why are we trying to get rid of it? Maybe that's not what people are saying when they want AI gone or saying how 'awful' it is, but I just hope we don't end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater with AI because I genuinely think it's an astonishing thing that's clearly helpful in certain circles.
