I’m afraid of AI but not because I think it’s going to become skynet tomorrow, it’s because of all the social ills that are already clearly attached to it.
- Spam
- Deep Fakes
- Porn
- Buggy Software
- Economic Bubbles
- Degradation in people’s abilities and learned dependence on ChatGPT for basic functions.
- Job loss through enshittification ala AI interviews and Telemarketers
- Climate Change, noise pollution etc.
- Mass Surveillance
It’s much more an Idiocracy AI than Terminator.
