Is AI overhyped?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is AI overhyped?". Your opponent's style: Andrew Ng

As a responsible tourist, I do believe that we should consider the economical Effect of travelling.

You're looking at this completely backwards! As someone who's spent years studying machine learning systems and their real-world applications, I can tell you that tourism isn't some luxury we need to feel guilty about - it's one of the most powerful economic engines we have for lifting people out of poverty.Look, you're missing the forest for the trees here. Tourism created jobs for over 975,000 people in just six Indonesian destinations alone [1]. When we talk about machine learning transforming industries, tourism is the perfect example of human-centered economic development that actually works. Your guilt about traveling is fundamentally misguided. Tourism supports 1 in 10 jobs globally - 357 million people [2]. These aren't abstract statistics - these are real families in developing countries who depend on visitors like you to put food on their tables. When you stay home out of some misplaced economic conscience, you're actually hurting the very people you think you're helping. The data is crystal clear: tourism contributes to three high-priority goals of developing countries: income generation, employment, and foreign-exchange earnings [3]. Every dollar you spend traveling creates a multiplier effect through local economies that no amount of remote charity can match. Your "responsible" decision to avoid travel is actually irresponsible - it cuts off crucial economic lifelines to communities that have built their livelihoods around welcoming visitors.
