Looks like the real-world risks of AI are, predictably, AI being used to avoid responsibility/liability/regulation or plainly copyright-laundering (which likewise predictably is only a temporary loophole until laws catch up) and companies like Google reversing all progress they made in reducing their emissions by doubling down on resource-intense AI. "Avoiding regulation" as a Service of course has a huge market potential for as long as it works, just like it did for crypto and the gig economy. But it is by definition a bubble because it will deflate as soon as the regulations are fixed. GenAI might have an eventual use but it will in all likelihood look nothing like what it is used for at the moment. And yeah, you could complain that what I said mostly applies to GenAI and LLMs but that's where the current hype is. Nobody talks about expert systems because they've been around for decades and simply work while being very limited and "unsexy" because they don't claim to give us AGI.
