Stuff like deepfake revenge/child porn, workers being laid off en masse, AI scams and misinformation, skyrocketing prices for RAM/electricity/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.

Pretty much all of this. I wrote a long post about this a couple of months ago, so I'll keep it short-ish, but so-called "A.I." is indeed a massive net negative. All of this destruction, all of this effort to force Plagiarism Bot 3000 on us, as if every new gee-whiz tech fad from Silicon Valley has to be "THE INEVITABLE FUTURE™ SO GET USED TO IT, LUDDITE!!!" They don't care if they have to destroy everything from the environment to the very soul of human creativity in the process. "A.I." reeks of a get-rich-quick scheme, a desperate last-ditch attempt at making the line go up in a moribund economic system. Capitalism will be the death of us all, and fossil fuel and tech companies are leading the charge. If it were up to me, "A.I" would be banned and all those new data centers being put up would be bulldozed and replaced with something actually useful.

This is an incredibly ignorant thing to say. I've already gone into this with Curl earlier in the thread so won't go in depth again here but there are tons of useful applications of the technology, including in extremely important areas like the medical field.
