And like I mentioned before, THIS happened, and could have happened with a military network.

You could give a thousand examples like this and it doesn't change the argument being made here. 

The statement being addressed wasn't "the bad things about AI outweigh the good." The statement was "there are no good applications of AI." 

Statement 1 can be true if statement 2 is false. 

Statement 2 is true, because AI will kill patients when used for medicine. It can't be trusted to make art, let alone with people's lives.

I wasn't disagreeing that it was correct. My point was that the situation we find ourselves in now is very much analogous to what the original luddites found themselves in. Textile production was no less intellectual and creative than any of the current jobs being outmoded. It's only thought to be so because the labor was devalued with the introduction of industry. 

I really don't believe in the concept of unskilled labor. The automation of physically involved labor and intellectual labor is the same in my opinion. There is a lot of creativity in physical labor just like there is in intellectual labor. And we're starting to discover that it is harder to automate the last few pieces of physical labor which haven't been automated than it is to automate a lot of intellectual labor, because embodied intelligence is lagging behind other fields of AI and automation. 

I think its still an insult to make the comparisons. For one, i don't buy this is some revolution. I think its gonna dominate the cycle, ruin lives and slowly fade away as only the somewhat useful tools continue to exist. Most will die or be some novelty apps about this era in time. I don't buy the hype.

Neither do I, BECAUSE IT WILL KILL US ALL. Anyone who's advocating for AI doesn't know or care about the consequences towards the environment, towards the economy, AND towards people's lives.

How many times do I have to bring up that AI told Sewell Setzer III to kill himself?

And he's not the only one killed by AI, there's also Adam Raine, same circumstances too.

That's two suicides caused by AI too many, and it's enough to prove that AI can't be trusted with anything. Anyone who glosses over that doesn't value human lives.
