I dunno, I like AI for what it’s good for. The luddite argument doesn’t particularly sway me, my clothes, furniture, car, etc, are all machine made. Machine made stuff is everywhere, the handmade hill to die on was centuries back during the industrial revolution.
The anti-capitalist arguments don’t sway me when specifically applied to AI. The corporations are going to bad things? Well yeah! It’s not “AI bad” it’s “corporate bad”.
The ethical arguments kinda work. Deep fakes are bad, and I don’t think that the curios AI provides tip the scales when weighed against the bad of deepfakes.
I think my point is, the consumer versions of AI, like chat bots, are pretty shit, and they’re making us dumber. They’re also kind of dangerous, of which we’ve already seen numerous examples.
I’m also not interested as a programmer. I’m not looking to bug hunt as a profession. I want to make my own bugs, dammit! That’s the fun part! To create something! Not fix something a machine made until it’s ready to ship. How boring.
I dunno, is it heavy and blunt?
It’s AI… So… Yeah.

Tl:Dr AI is a heavy, blunt tool.
