Is anyone else really confused why so many people are concerned about this when the Earth is literally boiling away and fascists are integrating themselves into every government system? I’m not saying we should be completely ignoring this concern but I just do not understand the obsession with it. My dad keeps talking about the AI singularity and I’m like that’s the least of our problems right now? Maybe that’s just me but…
I think those other things exacerbate the fear in “AI”. Like, on top of all of that other stuff, some fancy new software is starting to take jobs in writing, journalism, art, voiceovers, etc.
My only hope that some kind of stable global civilization will survive the problems you point out is that we get a Singularity and it’s a combination of benevolent AND assertive. I feel like there’s like… lottery ticket chances of that, and yet it’s MORE likely than humans being able to enact solutions before it’s too late.
