With regard to artificial intelligence, Sam Altman always see the vessel half full. Despite the large number of experts who talk about the dare danger that this technology can suppose, he is still focused on making Chatgpt a daily routine for millions of people. A delicate issue, especially when nothing more and nothing less focus on young people.
Not long ago, the founder of Openai made statements in which he stated that each type of user used AI in a different way, depending on his age. Maybe he will propose to demonstrate the different uses that Chatgpt can have, but the truth is that the play was regular: What was intended to be a praise to its creation, has ended up generating controversy. Again.
Sam Altman and Chatgpt’s dangers among young people
According to Sam Altman, many young people and students use chatgpt as a vital assistant. And what exactly is that? Well someone to ask for advice on relationships, professional elections, family problems and other personal concerns. That is, a kind of counselor. He understands it as a great custom, but many other experts do not agree.
The vast majority of specialists, in fact, see this custom of changing the couch of the psychologist for conversations with AI as a nonsense. His argument seems not only logical, but obvious: how they reveal in Financial Times, AI is unable to have empathy. Or what is the same, which lacks your own judgment to be able to advise deep human emotions.
That is at least the theory, because in practice many young people seem indifferent to this reality, and go to Chatgpt to receive personal advice. The problem, however, is that AI can produce consistent responses, yes, but those responses are based on linguistic patterns and not on an authentic understanding. That is, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Seeing it from a psychological point of view, this would express the following: the AI gives advice to young people, but it is unable to assume any kind of responsibility for what it says. Something that, for many psychologists, teachers and other experts in education, is nonsense. Social networks, on the other hand, demonstrate that it is an increasingly upward trend.
AI as a source of popular wisdom
Why do so many young students use AI to help themselves in their personal problems? The explanation could actually be simple. Is what is known as confirmation bias. That is, young people only seek to confirm what they already think about from the beginningand that the AI say what they want to hear. Something in which tools like Chatgpt are quite expert.
However, this «humanization» of technology can be dangerous, say those who know about this. Not so much apparent in films as Her o Company robotbut rather for a possible banalization of society. A problem that, for many, is already there, and only grows every day.
