Your negative effects of AI seem to be a lot of "could happen". Everything can be harmful if you choose to focus on the negative aspect of it. Every form of technology can have many negative aspects to it if you think hard enough about it, but there are good things about them that improves our lives. Im sure there are things we havent even thought about when it comes to AI. Probably not many people saw much good in dynamite when it was first introduced either. It CAN be used for horrible things, but it can also help us in many different ways.

Stuff like deepfake revenge/child porn, workers being laid off en masse, AI scams and misinformation, skyrocketing prices for electronics/water/etc, rampant slop content clogging the internet, the devaluation of art, environmental damage, etc aren't what "could happen", they are happening right now. You don't have to "think hard enough" to find the negatives, the applications of AI in its current form are overwhlemingly negative.

What art are devalued? Is the Mona Lisa 40 bucks now? What electronics and water(?) are skyrocketing in prices because of AI? What environmental damage? How is AI to blame for any of this? I dont even know what the deepfake thing is... I mean putting a different face on a child being abused is not really the big concern in that situation.
