Right the technology clearly has massive potential and is already quite powerful so if someone has a big issue with how it's being used right now the best thing to do is push for reasonable regulation. This isn't my exact viewpoint but pushing for some sort of public ownership of AI systems to make it so this society warping technology isn't largely in the hands of certain companies and billionaires and that humanity at large can benefit from it on their own terms is the type of position that should be more common than it is.

Agreed. Advances in cancer research will take leaps and bounds because of AI. AI will advance multiple areas of science and there will be massive benefits. I am using it quite a lot now. |
That is completely right. The advancements in medical research and scientific research in general will be immense. Even self driving cars becoming the norm alone will save a lot of lives and prevent a ton of injuries every year. For my usage I'm increasingly using it as a Google substitute and lately there's often cases where it saves me some time of having to look through a bunch of search results. It's not an ignorant statement cause he disagrees, it's an ignorant statement cause it's completely false. The evidence is so overwhelming of the benefits of the technology that implying that all the investment in it isn't leading to anything useful is flat earth level of ignorance at this point and should get called out. |
AI is only benefiting billionaires, making them richer. They don't care that most people will soon be too poor to buy their products. THAT is ignorance. |
False. that entire statement is false and narrow minded. They absolutely will need people to buy their products, and they can't have the entire population being poor. The USSR collapsed, in large part due to their currency being devalued, thus the dollar can devalue with everyone being poor, which would make them poor. Not to mention rich people need the general populous to invest in the stock market, which requires money.
Economics isn't what you think it is.
