The tool itself enables the misuse though, so it's still a problem facilitated by said tool. Yes, people are dying of other things, but people were dying of other things back when we as a society adopted CFCs or lead or Agent Orange, yet those things still should have been resisted and not embraced despite them representing technical innovations. |
But you need to look at a large picture too. Is the human population more advanced and more populous, than before? How do you envision is traveling to other planets without help of advances machinery including some form of AI? The current problem with the whole AI development framework is in my opinion lack of transparency and a huge investments from big tech.
Because of that, lots of people will lose jobs short term, as those companies will lay off substantial amount of workforce to justify spendings in AI development. I strongly believe that we can solve it by having open source movements created by sane and moral group of people that will share publicly every detail about ongoing development and focus on security, ethicality, and applicability first. It's normal that a lot of people are against something like AI when they don't see benefits of it or lose their income because of those LLMs. The net positives are things like automated society that can enjoy even greater security and faster advancements than before AI adoption.
Right now we are far away from real AI systems, as currently what we can use is semi-intelligence made by big techs and for profit organizations.
