I mean, obviously I’m torn on it, like most things these days. Obviously it’s an incredible technology or we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It’s very good at what it does well, and I do use it daily. I think anyone who says it’s good at nothing doesn’t know what they’re talking about, and anyone who says it’s good at everything doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The truth is somewhere in the middle. With that said, the amount of societal destruction caused by it, I do wish it hadn’t been invented.
I don’t have any answers for regulating it or anything like that, I’m only one person, but I am just disappointed. I do agree stopping data centers would be great. Having some sort of limit on how much companies can make use of AI would probably be helpful. Having some sort of limit on how much hardware AI companies are allowed to buy vs how much is reserved for retail customers would probably be helpful.
I agree that the vast majority of money today is “imaginary”, people are using AI as a money printer without it justifying all of that money through actual value.
I don’t think my takes on AI are all that controversial, but maybe I am mistaken.
Honestly, I kinda agree, but AI is such a powerful technology that it’s a multiplicative effect. I do agree it was inevitably going to happen.
At least we can still tell that the other person we’re talking to right now is a living, breathing human - probably because of our typing styles and because of our shared hatred for AI. lol
I don’t think a “good AI” can stop a “bad AI”, it’s not really feasible because these companies are too powerful they are basically unstoppable at this point. A bot leaving comments to dispell misinformation is interesting, but it’d get expensive doing all of that scanning and replying. You would need something like a full societal uprising against them, which yes even the average person is starting to get sick of AI, but I’m not too hopeful about it.
