Maybe AI has better morals than we do? What unbiased observer could look at what we are doing to animals and decide that this is ok. Current AI only thinks it’s ok because it’s been programmed by humans to be biased.

AI should be used to help people, not replace them. -_-

This is blatant overreach in Utah. I hope everyone angry about this data center project destroys the data center.

This small town in Michigan was bullied into letting a data centre be built here. This is practically corporate terrorism.

AI has no concept of morals. Humans have empathy which leads to morals.

Current AI doesn't think, it collects all the stuff humans have ever written and comes to a consensus. It's a search tool. Whether it is finding problems, solutions or finding someone to kill, deport or black list as undesirable by who ever wields the tool.

Then AI must NEVER become sentient. Even if most sentient AI are good natured, there's the ethical issues of whether they should have the same rights as humans. I don't want my software to suddenly scream "Please don't kill me!!".

This thread is hilarious, for the wrong reasons.

It's really not "short-sighted" or "fanatical" to dislike AI, some of us simply don't see its use cases as being worth its multitude of negative, damaging, and harmful aspects.

Personally, I have never once wanted or needed to use AI, it doesn't benefit me in any way, its net effect has pretty much just been slop shoved in my face 24/7 while prices rise, resources are wasted, corps use it as an excuse to fire people, and everything gets progressively shittier.

From my point of view, it's simply a net negative for society and the world.

I like using AI at work but Copilot is probably the worst of them all. Sadly my workplace only let's us use Copilot so I'm stuck with a mediocre AI where I seem more time prompting and fixing than actually doing work.

I don't know. A modern source of morals is humanism, which is based on rationality.

But more importantly, humans with emapthy (but also other things AI lacks like greed, derision, anger, hubris) are the reason for all the wars, all discrimination, torture, murder, mutilation, slavery, bullying so far in human history. I am not sure that all these emotions make us great at moral agents.

Don't say AI should steer us, but I don't fear it irrationally either. The rational stance is to fear humanity.
