> This is the side of AI Ethics – the side that worries about "today’s issues of ghost labor, algorithmic bias, and erosion of the rights of artists and others." As White says, shifting the debate to existential risk from a future, hypothetical superintelligence "is incredibly convenient for the powerful individuals and companies who stand to profit from AI." I'd argue that the opposite is the case. People who rather like to warn about alleged bias are the ones with a convenient agenda. Because of course they don't complain about things like ChatGPT having a left-wing bias. They only try to complain about the things that suits their political worldview. And of course they like complaining about ultimately rather minor problems (which they wouldn't admit). Because thinking about real AI risk would be uncomfortable, it would mean thinking about the possibility of human extinction. Instead they just complain about non-issues, similar to "but think of the children" people. More a form of virtue signalling perhaps, than a form of AI "ethics".
