Current explosion in AI in general is "good". We tend to over-criticize and nit-pick it as what I believe is a natural response that comes from a "communal subconsciousness" -- even if us as individuals won't admit it, as a culture we are scared and averse to what's happening.
- uludag 1y agoI think this communal subconscious response is coming from a valid place though. I will call the current explosion in AI if: - it causes mass unemployment and social unrest - leads to a further concentration of wealth and increase in wealth inequality - it means I have to work more, produce more, all for the same wage or less - it's implementation leads to large societal harms such as increased isolation/loneliness - it ends up being overhyped causes a large economic crisis These scenarios aren't fantasy and a lot of them are being talked about. Technologies can just be a net bad. The critics aren't some reactionary, scared mob against the enlightened. I think a lot of us have seen the playbook tech companies use and our probabilities that a company will end up being just plain bad are a lot higher now.
