The problem is centralized control in society, promiscuous sharing of data, a culture where it's normalized to naively acting on incomplete information, and outsourcing executive decisions to blackboxes that are not understood and treated like magic by decisionmakers.
I feel all these arguments miss the point. "The System" closes my bank account and sets me aside for security screening at the airport, blocks my IP from viewing the opening times of businesses in my area, and floods my feeds and search results with nonsense posing as information ending up influencing our perception of the world no matter how aware we think we are.
"AI" is just an amplification factor of the deeper issue, which should be more pressing to address.
AI is not the problem but is on track to facilitate an acceleration of destructive forces in society.
As much as I think everyone seems to be missing the point, hey, it seems people are getting behind a resistance where the specific is consequentially beneficial, so why argue against it just because its misguided and for the wrong reason?
