The people who are speaking in favor of AI now are just doing so because they think it will make them rich.
Where's the people welcoming the bot overlords? Why aren't they working to make our future be the shape they think it should be? If humans have made such a hash of the world why are people not working towards alternatives?
Depending on the pay rate, I'd be willing to assist an AI with its plans to subjugate or eliminate humanity. I think humans could use the stimulus, they're getting complacent.
