  Yup too many people worry about what happens after AI gains sentience. When we need to worry about what happens before.

    It’s because what happens post-singularity is dramatic and flashy, but what’s happening now is depressing and boring. AI is being used and will continue to be used to oppress people and extract as much value from them as possible, but post-singularity AI might launch all the nukes!

    In all likelihood, post-singularity AI will probably just do what current AI does to screw people over, but even better.

      I have the vision that AI will eventually replace all the CEOs, being even more efficient than them at whatever their job is. This means even more exploitation of workers, hoarding of wealth, and putting profits above all else. The true nightmare. I think that AI will eventually turn all corporations into pure evil, and turn all humans against AI and therefore corporations. That will result in a civil war - humans vs machines. Eventually, humans will be able to save themselves, but only by putting capitalism and the system of ever rising profits to the grave for good.

        I think you’re giving humans too much credit. If our future ends up going down that path, the people raking in profits will never give up their power and the government won’t force them.

    Almost no movies have been put out that shows the threat of AI used to socially manipulate. That is the real threat right there.

    Bots can radicalize people into thinking they have a deep, intimate friend when it is just an LLM trained to slowly turn them into white nationalists.

      I was chatting with a big tidy goth girl, and before I knew it, I was selling copies of my graphic novelization of Mein Kampf in the back of a pickup truck in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby

  That and the systematic replacement of middle management by AI with no regard to human feelings, needs, emotion whatsoever. Pretty much what Amazon is doing to its delivery drivers already.

    Middle management already has zero regard for human feelings so at least you won’t have to deal with clashing personalities or vanity bosses anymore.

    I say bring on the AI management and wait till the board members see how effectively ALL C-suites can be replaced by AI.

    AI has the potential to improve efficiency. That includes the potential to make all forms of evil more efficient.

    So, you’re say that, in general, it’s an improvement? /s
