You see a lack of imagination. I see naïveté.
I will rephrase: I see negative applications being the ones with the highest impact.
90% the quality of a human indexer is not that great. Who's going to pay for that? But spam that can't be filtered and automated con artistry at scale? Fraudsters, shady black hat advertisers, political parties, and shady governments will pay millions to billions for a tool like that.
Con artistry at scale is the one I find absolutely terrifying. Imagine spam bots that engage with you, that make friends with you... We could be talking about the hydrogen bomb of propaganda.
I find those scenarios much scarier than "runaway super-intelligence" type AI takeover stuff because they are significantly more plausible. We can almost do what I'm imagining today. It's not science fiction. There is no question of its feasibility.
