Is AI just a tool?

Somebody thinks. That AI is just another wheel. The AI is something that we use, and that’s it. But. The big thing. In AI, it is that. It’s far more. Than just some kind of tool. The AI is a flexible model for information. AI is like a human; it just doesn’t create information from emptiness. It processes information. That it gets from different sources. The system involves an algorithm, the program that collects information from sensors and databases. Another thing. In. AI is a computer program. The AI collects and processes a lot of data. But the problem is that. It uses databases. It doesn’t actually know if the information is false or true. 

In the same way, AI doesn’t think for itself about whether something is moral or ethical. The user teaches AI. And. The user selects what is right or wrong. And that is dangerous. There are people who are not normal. And if those people train an AI agent. That thing can turn into a catastrophe. The AI itself doesn’t cheat. It’s programmed to cheat. 

But humans either automatically know. Is the information. That we get true or false. Another thing is that the AI has an addictive psychological ability. Users select AI. That they feel most comfortable. This means that programmers do a lot of work to create AI that pleases users. And that is the thing that sometimes gets too far. The AI is a tool that is coming. The AI. It can have similar effects to net porn and some computer games. The AI can addict people. And they spend too much time with it. So, they get a headache. Sleepless and many other things, when they create things with AI.

 AI might look and feel like. A real human. It can discuss with people. And that forms an illusion that there is a human on the other side of the net. The AI. It can mimic feelings. And give advice. That feels very effective. But there are limits to the AI. And its use for things like a therapist. The AI should not have access to give psychotherapy. And the second thing is this. There must be some limits on things. That the user can ask the AI to do.  If a person asks AI to complete violent requests, they should have access to, or the order to, call a psychologist. 

There must be some kind of protocol that allows AI to pick dangerous people, like serial killers and suicide candidates. We know that there are lots of people. Aho asks the AI something that they would not dare to ask a real humans. The AI is a tool that can be a very good customer service agent. But the same thing that makes it a perfect customer service agent makes it a bad psychotherapist. The psychotherapist must dare to say if something is not as it should be. 

The AI has an algorithm that pleases the user. And in some cases. The AI tries to please the user at the wrong moment. The AI must have access to say “no” or refuse to do things that people ask. In the cases of depression, the AI that pleases the user can cause horrible things. When we say that AI is safe, we mean that the AI is safe for regular people. We don’t normally think that some very dangerous people can use AI. In those cases, the AI can incite people to make decisions. That causes bad things. The AI is a tool. That has a very big effect.
