  That’s exactly how it’s being sold to people: as something that will fix society. Like this politician:

  Eby called AI a technology with “incredible promise,” including in providing medical care and tackling issues such as climate change.

  This was after AI was used to encourage and plan a mass shooting.

    Prompt: “How can we fix climate change?”

    AI: “To effectively mitigate the progression of anthropogenic climate change we must destroy one quarter of humanity. Would you like me to help you plan how? You’re asking all the right questions.”

      The funny part is, we have the solutions for climate change. Politicians don’t listen to them now. Would they really change their minds if a chatbot said the same thing?

        Hell no. Climate change is one of those topics that minds are made up on before the person even runs for office, whether that be denial, indifference, or proactive. People that use it treat it like a new Bible with the idea that as “the sum of all human knowledge” it has some magical insight into humanity. Still, they cherry pick responses that validate their established beliefs and ignore any that would refute or challenge them.

  if it came with systemic reforms

  ??? what kind of brain gymnastics is that

  How do you expect “reforms” from an autocomple engine?

    I think they mean in parallel, as in the government steps in and regulates with guarantees etc, not that these reforms would come from the AI itself.

      I understand what you mean, but I’m afraid AI does not think these things were connected, and the government does not think so either.
