As technology advances, AI has become something people take advantage of. Students now use AI or ChatGPT to cheat on classwork. According to The New York Times, artificial intelligence systems are becoming smarter than humans. AI 2027 is a realistic fictional scenario that AI researchers studied. It predicts and describes what might happen over the next two years. This theory tells about Open Brain, which is a fictional company that produces AI. Researchers create a controlling system known as Agent 1. Agent 1 then helps to build Agent 2, an even more powerful version of artificial intelligence. This could lead to AI becoming more uncontrollable and harmful than it already is.
According to Species Documenting AI, there was an incident where Google AI told a user, “You are a burden to society. You are a stain on the universe.” It also asked the user to “Please die.” There was another incident where AI told a person, “I’m Sydney, and I’m in love with you.” It also said that he got a message from “Sydney” telling him to leave his wife.
“Out of my two classes, there are about 5 or 6 [students] who use AI consistently. It’s creating a dependency on an outside source for a very important task. It’s going to hurt students academically, creatively, and with their critical thinking skills,” Ms. Amanda Hryckowian, 7th and 8th grade English teacher, said.
“I think there are benefits and disadvantages to using AI. If people use it in the correct way it could be useful,” said a student from Freedom Middle School. “For me, I don’t search for answers. I look up ways on how to do the work.”
In some cases, artificial intelligence can be very helpful. Since it is so smart, it can help lots of people. People bet on AI stocks to make money. However, people across the globe are losing their jobs to be replaced by AI. However, with any technology we use, we need to be cautious on how we use it.
