🤖 Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?
We are here for you to tell some stories about it. 

You've probably seen such horror movies 👇🏼
•AI will soon destroy humanity.
•AI will leave everyone without work.
•AI will take over all communications and the Internet.

Yes, someone called us that it will happen tomorrow 🤪

But seriously, it is worth looking at AI not only from a negative point of view. We cannot stop the development of technologies at the moment, and why should we?

We have to learn to live with what we already have and get the most out of it. And you definitely don't need to be afraid 🙂
🔹 Have you ever used Google translator or Grammarly or LanguageTool? And this is AI.
🔹 Or maybe your phone has a face recognition system - that's AI.
🔹 And after all, you use Google search every day, and it works on the basis of what? That's right, also artificial intelligence.
And in medicine, there are very successful examples of how AI recognizes diseases that humans could not recognize.

❗️ And no, it's not shameful. It helps us to make our life easier and more productive.
Yes, there are some downsides to AI that can be scary.
But it would be more correct to formulate it differently. Negative consequences of human use of AI. [It would be fair to deal with what people do 😏].

📸 For example, creating fake videos and images that can be used to manipulate or mislead. Have you seen the Pope in a supposed jacket from Balenciaga? Yes, for a second we also believed that the photo was real, but then it turned out that it was not.

That is why we have all gathered here. Let's learn to use technology correctly and for its intended purpose. Because there is no getting away from them. ... See MoreSee Less

Is it true that myopia can be cured with exercise?

Not true. Eye exercises are one of the most popular myths in ophthalmology. There is no evidence to support that any eye exercise can improve visual acuity or prevent wearing glasses. The exception is convergence insufficiency [reduced ability of the eyes to turn towards each other].

At the same time, eye exercises will not harm you. You can do it if it makes you feel better.

💡What is the difference between opinion, judgment, and fact?

📎 Opinion - information that contains a personal assessment.
📎 A judgment is information that is affirmed or denied.
📎 Fact - reliable information, that is, the truth. It can be proven.

But to make it clearer, let's look at specific examples👇🏼

✔️Opinion: Pear Mobile are the best phones I've come across. I really like them

✔️Opinion: Pear Mobile is the best phone I've come across. I really like it. It also has the most powerful processor.
✔️Judgment: Pear Mobile is the best and fastest mobile phone because they have the most powerful processor.

✔️Fact: Pear Mobile is powered by a 4nm processor, which means the phone runs cooler and consumes less battery power.

Does your body need a detox? 🧐

No. Many people strive to get rid of "waste" by cleansing the body or using detox diet 🤷 However, there is no need for this.

The body is really polluted by external factors [exhaust gases, factory emissions, smoke, caffeine, alcohol...]. But it knows how to cleanse itself at the expense of its detoxification system: liver, kidneys and lungs. If they are "normal", your body will cope with the removal of harmful substances. If not, go to the doctor, and don't look for advice on the Internet.
