Hidden Problems with AI That (Virtually) Nobody Talks About
Real issues affecting people right now
Not All AI is Equal AI companies are run two-tier systems (many more even). People with money get faster computers, better servers, and premium services. Everyone else gets the cheap/overloaded version.
Here's the problem: when AI systems get busy, they get dumber. The cheap services handle more users per server by tuning quality parameters (among other measures), so the AI gives worse answers because it used less cycles, or stopped early, or was a little more repetitive. Schools with tight budgets buy the cheap version. Their kids get worse help with homework than rich kids using the premium version at home.
