as much as people hate to admit it, it can be a good study tool lmao. very frequently id upload all my notes and tell it to make me flashcards and quiz me (i still studied outside of this ofc) but it gave me different questions and ways of thinking about things that i wouldn’t of gotten on my own. many people use AI in ‘bad’ ways but there are a lot of benefits of it
I see what y’all are saying. In this case the roommates were arguing that it’s not a major issue and has no impact to the environment. Disheartening because you’d think they might have critical thinking skills, especially with their major. More of commentary on their morals and character than anything.
I think the multitude of ethical and environmental effects of the AI industry as a whole greatly outweigh the instances of some people using it “responsibly”. It’s so far past just the question of using it as a tool when it’s literally impacting the physical wellbeing of humanity and the planet. There’s no mysterious cloud holding all the AI data that’s completely removed from our world, it’s actually damaging resources necessary for survival no matter how intelligently you’re using it. Fuck AI
