I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?
I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.
How could you possibly know that achieving AI will change the world for the better? Change, I believe, but even people running the AI companies talk about how hard alignment is. There’s a chance it has a net positive effect on the world, but I guarantee you there is also a non-zero chance it has a net negative effect. If you have some way of predicting the future, maybe you should get into investing.
There’s no reason to assume that AI will be malevolent.
I also said it would be equivalent to other important events throughout human history.
For example, I believe the discovery of agriculture is one of the most detrimental things ever that happened to humanity. Doesn’t make it any less riveting.
If you do not understand or don’t want to understand the implications of a fully realized artificial intelligence then you are simply willfully ignorant or want to be intentionally contrary.
Either way when our ai overlords take over the earth your name won’t be in the protected scrolls. May God have mercy on your soul.
