Is this really a useful argument? There is clearly potential for AI to solve a lot of important issues. Anybody saying "and has this cured x y or z?" before a huge discovery was made after years of research isn't a good argument to stop research.
- aeve890 1y agoIt is in the face of naive, overoptimistic arguments that straight up ignore the negative impacts, that IMO vastly outweigh the positive ones. We will have the cure of cancer, but everyone loses their jobs. This happened before, with nuclear energy.

Stop pretending that the people behind this technology is genuinely motivated by what's best for humanity.
