I'm still troubled by some of the implications of the technology and think it would be a good idea to have some countries take a hard Luddite stance against AI, but that doesn't mean I think you are wrong. I have trouble with the assumption that what is good for efficiency and reducing human labor is necessarily good for us, but it does imply those that don't go along with the efficiency increases will be destroyed by those that do.
With generative AI I'm mostly concerned with what it will do to the next generation of artists. I don't think I would have ever had the motivation to pursue music if it had been possible to replicate perfectly with AI. I'm immensely thankful I got that opportunity and so I want the next generation to get it as well.
- kragen 4y agoi strongly agree with your first paragraph i think the second paragraph is a bit myopic, like hunter-gatherers observing agriculture and worrying whether the next generation will be able to track prey through plowed fields, or will allow their hunting skills to decay because it's easier to get meat by trading with the agriculturalists but that understates the case; ai (if this is really ai this time) is certainly a more significant innovation than agriculture, probably more significant than fire, on par with tools and language still, that says nothing about its moral valence
