I think technology isnt neutral, and people creating tech that can cause harm and subsequently making it available to the general public and easy to use are as immoral as the people using it. i love writing malware, but once it works, i delete it. If you want to see if you can create an AI that can make nudes of people thats fine, you can use it for yourself. or when it works decide atleast not to publish it. theres arguments for publishing it, and people ofcourse in favor of those arguments. thats ok, i am not though. i think its bad. you can write a paper about it and show some benign examples in it if you want the world to know these things are possible. there is no need imho to hand everyone a gun simply to prove guns are dangerous, and that is akin to what these tech creators are doing..
- palata 3y agoI tend to agree. I feel like in today's world (where society may well collapse very soon because of what we did with technology - I'm thinking about climate and biodiversity), we engineers should think much more about what we do and the consequences it may have on the world.
