My First Experience With AI/ChatGPT

All writers fear the undetectable use of AI/ChatGPT in the art world. We spend years honing our craft and struggling with writer's block, story cohesion, and all the other pitfalls of our job so that we can tell beautiful stories that inspire and create unseen worlds and majesty. It is a fantastic job that I wouldn't trade for any other, but when I was first shown ChatGPT, the future of my career dissipated in seconds.

More than a year ago, I was first introduced to ChatGPT when my friend suggested we write a book together. He mentioned he had some great ideas, so he and I got on a call. I saw that the extent of his ideas were minimal, just a few lines of general story ideas and concepts. He told me not to worry, and I watched him run them through ChatGPT. Suddenly, he had a complete analysis and outline of a story in seconds. I was horrified.

I put in years of effort to write the stories I ended up publishing, and those years were boiled down to a few meaningless seconds.

I started to think about the downfall of true artists who would be irrevocably irrelevant with AI. Thankfully, since then, I have learned a lot more about AI, and many companies have created ways to detect AI so students won't be able to write essays in a second and artwork won't be birthed from a blindly stolen concept.

I will always naturally hate AI in art, but as more fail-safes were created, I began to think about how AI can benefit humanity, and the answer is through Healthcare.

Healthcare is a field rooted in the laws of science; every doctor in each field has a similar foundation to their colleagues, which is measured through testing to become qualified. This allows AI to be structured above a bar that all doctors must meet. AI’s most basic intelligence in this area would be that of the most basic doctor, and that's only the starting block.

With a doctor's eight years of schooling as the foundation of the AI, which can be done in a much shorter amount of time, the AI can only become exponentially more helpful. It can pull experience from medical journals and other doctors' casework, and combined with the knowledge and expertise of actual doctors, AI could boost everyone's intelligence and awareness.

When dealing with a challenging diagnosis, AI could research hundreds of studies for a doctor who wouldn't have time to search more than a few in a night. AI wouldn't take over the doctor's job, but it would significantly boost them.

Not only could AI share past studies with current doctors, but it could also connect all the currently practicing doctors and allow them to learn more efficiently from each other in real-time. This would create a more intelligent network, enabling AI to help save lives and revolutionize patient treatment.
