I guess I should rephrase my very generalized comment. You’re right.
The problem here is capitalism. 🖕 capitalism.
Because without that, if we as a species would venture into AI at all, we would be doing it for very specific and resource-conscious purposes. Not because “let’s sink billions of dollars into AI; our thought slaves—I MEAN ad targets—I MEAN dear customers all want that, right?! All the other tech bros are doing it!! FOMO alert! Get on the train while the bubble is expanding!”
I’m with you though. AI is incredibly powerful. Or can be. But the way it is blowing up without any direction or half-assed purpose right now with complete disregard for human life is just so distasteful.
I’m so happy when I see AI being used “correctly” when furthering medicine or treatment/cure/better detection of disease and such progress. But most of it… is just… 😮💨
