I’m not against AI. I’m against how it’s being used. I’m against it being unregulated. I’m against it pushed as a solution for things it has no real need for. I’m against the massive energy cost for the miniscule benefit it produces.

I fear that as the technology grows coupled with robotics that those in power will squander the wealth and provide only suffering. I fear it will be used to distort reality to benefit a select few who already have too much unchecked power.

I don’t need or want it to tell me how to do things I can research myself. I don’t need it to be in my web browser or in my computer or in my phone. I don’t need it to create media. I don’t need it to think for me or write my papers or pretend to be my girlfriend.

I do think it has potential to be a technology the could revolutionize math, science and medicine.

The technology has a long way to go until it’s intelligent, more than just fancy predictive text that often gives the wrong answers.
