| Jumpin said: Concerns are legit, and consequences are clear. And it’s not just the disappearance of career paths, but the reduction in workforce necessity. But my take is crisis should be seen as an opportunity at the same time for society to take the next step rather than say “we’re not ready” and back down. Because some of the changes might also benefit solutions toward other (even more) desperate problems we’re currently facing in the world, that many people just refuse to look up at because it won’t effect them this year. I think the creativity problem could be solved by changing up the economy. Give every creative the ability to sustain themselves, access to educational material on creative process and dissemination, and they’ll bring something great. Removal of the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid of needs, and meaningful art will become the chief motivational factor of creatives. It will also cut down on suicide… all while adding to the value of the community. |
I agree with all of that, just not that optimistic that AI is going to bring a path to Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek 'utopia'. The current trend is the opposite of 'giving' people the means to live. Greed remains the main problem, all you said can already be done today without AI.
just allowing wealthy to exploit resources with the most minimal share back into the community and overall environment, AI is only accelerating that for now. Some kind of shake up is needed to change the current system.
Same as the internet didn't reduce inequality, I doubt AI will without intervention.
