It's not useless as a term but AI has become a catchall for anxiety about the future.
I'll add another set of concerns you see in these discussions.
People know that the current version of predatory Capitalism we've created so far would happily mass unemploy everyone (possibly all the white collar workers reading this much sooner then you think). This would leave no workers and no consumers with money outside of the ultrawealthy.
I agree. I don't trust the current version of capitalism to program these AI of the future. I think they will burn the house down in their greed.
- gmarx 9y agoI'll add another concern which is already occurring (the thing I'm concerned about, not the concern, although I guess the concern is already occurring) AI is being used as a workaround to existing anti-discrimination laws. The core of anti-discrimination law is that it doesn't matter if you think on the average my group of people is a worse credit risk or more likely to rob your taxi or more likely to trash your rental property; you need to judge me by the risk of the general population. AI allows you to create a black box which will inevitably find proxies for race and spit out a higher risk for some races than others. Race won't directly appear in the model but what does will be strongly correlated with race.
