Maybe. One prediction I have is that AI will likely find its earliest widespread use in "content" generation, and this content will be geared towards clicks and engagement rather than creating something, well, creative.
I think eventually there will be a backlash against this content because of how much it stunts human potential. It keeps you hooked, but people will also deride it for being empty, for being exceptionally "mid". People will question why such content appeals to the widest possible demographic and come up with disturbing answers, like that the AIs unintentionally discovered a lot of unsettling psychological hooks. True or not, it'll freak people out.
I haven't even scratched the surface of my worries when it comes to the unintended consequences of content AI. I for one look forward to the day someone manages to create "the world's smartest racist".
- Bjorkbat 4y agoTo elaborate on what I mean. I think that someone will train an AI on racist literature, statistics, and rhetoric, and create an AI that is not only very racist, but very good at convincing other people to be racist. I think this will happen well before the government and institutions can preempt such a thing from happening. This does bring up a bigger issue. What are the risks of creating AIs that could convince people on any subject one could think of?
