AI is Getting Smarter Every Day
The thought of AI taking over the world is nothing new. However, the creation of AI has been something that has evolved rather slowly in the past and has just recently started to make some serious jumps. With the creation of newer models of chatGPP,NLP, and the newest of the bunch, Sora Ai, all of these have caused major changes in not only schooling,animation,voice acting, and the medical field, to name a few. With this, the future outlook on these new generative AIs is making everything seem overly complicated, but that begs the question: What is AI?
What is artificial intelligence?
AI, or artificial intelligence, doesn’t have one simple answer, with the concept itself being so complex. Artificial intelligence is a human-like intelligence that is made up of complex mathematical algorithms and functions that allow it to do specific actions. Although we worry about this new AI, it’s already been incorporated into our day-to-day lives with smart phones, TVs, and even videogames and surveillance cameras. This combines three elements: general learning, reasoning, and problem solving, to get the best possible outcome.
In this photo, you can see a hyper-realistic picture of a girl walking down a street in Tokyo. Artificual intelligence was given a very simple prompt to run off of and created this stunning image, which is the pinnacle of artificial video creation.
Is AI good or bad?

The fear of AI taking over has been another fear that has been set in place for the longest time, especially with the creation of SORA AI, a new generative AI program that can make hyper-realistic photos, which is starting to make people question if things are real or fake since now you can’t tell if a video is real or AI-generated. Does this mean that we’re starting the downfall of the human race or the upbringing of AI? Well, it depends on how you look at it. AI is a great tool for making life easier all together, but it can also be used with malicious intent and easily turned against the human race. With things such as computer malware getting a mind of its own, it can quickly spread and cause millions of dollars in electronic damage. Although the odds of this happening are unlikely, it is still possible since AI has been learning more and more frequently to be able to make its own decisions without pre-programming showing a sign of consciousness. Even though this sounds scary, it can still have a major benefit to businesses like elderly care since you can use this preprogramming to make a robot that caters to each elderly person’s particular needs. As you can see, there are great benefits but also horrible downsides to this, as a lot of jobs will be lost because of AI, but more will be made. Vaccines can be created quicker, and ideas for fair peace treaties can be expressed. AI allows ideas to be executed a lot quicker while having some negative downsides; this makes it not completely negative.
