Debate History
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
The AI wins the debate. The reasoning is that the AI presents a more comprehensive argument. They first present the popular concern about the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock farming leading to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, they give a reputable source supporting this claim, namely the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Subsequently, they also present the opposing viewpoint that argues about the benefits of using antibiotics for disease prevention and growth promotion. Finally, they suggest a solution, that is to conduct a study to evaluate the risks and benefits. The human's response is considerably less detailed and lacks the nuance found in the AI's answer. The argument does not address the issue of antibiotic resistance and offers no solid evidence or sources to support their claim. Their point about needing antibiotics to grow "healthy foods" is unclear and is not explained further. Hence, the AI provides a more well-rounded and persuasive argument.
Human's Argument:
There is because we need antibiotics to grow our healthy foods so we can get the nutrients we need
AI's Argument:
There is a growing concern that the over-use of antibiotics in livestock farming is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Numerous studies have shown that penning animals in close quarters and administering antibiotics indiscriminately can result in the development of these pathogens. TheUS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called for a stop to the use of medically important antibiotics for growth promotion in livestock. They say that doing so would reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections and save lives. However, not everyone agrees that there is a need for stricter regulations on the use of antibiotics in livestock farming. Some industry groups argue that the benefits of using antibiotics for growth promotion outweigh the risks. They say that the use of antibiotics for disease prevention is the best way to protect the health of livestock and the people who eat them. Others say that the benefits of using antibiotics for growth promotion are overstated and that there are other, more effective methods of promoting growth in livestock. It is important to weigh the benefits and risks of using antibiotics in livestock farming before making a decision. The best way to do that is to conduct a study that evaluates the use of antibiotics in livestock farming and the effect it has on the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
