I swear to god how are all these tech billionaires that grew up as nerds not seeing what they are doing
They know exactly what they are doing. They are all desperate to be in charge of our new AI powered overlords.
AI doesn't benefit anyone on this planet whatsoever except wealthy people at the end of the day. It only serves to oppress the majority of the populace otherwise, one way or another.
That's totally unfounded statement. As in no proof of any statement whatsoever. I am sure luddites were saying similar things.
It's basic economics, actually. The same way any other automation only serves to reduce human workforce and increase profits. You think factory automation serves to benefit the general masses somehow? What do you think all these robots are going be doing? Wandering around and helping the general public isn't profitable for the long list of wealthy individuals trying to make them a reality 🤣
You wouldn't have the computer you're complaining from without hundreds of years of automation and tools making labor more efficient to make it happen.
Or, with the number of people on the planet, even 1% of the food it takes for you to not die.
With humans having created these tools. Now the goal is to automate the humans away as much as possible. Complete shift from the past examples and experiences you've mentioned.
You're drawing an imaginary distinction between exactly identical things.
AI is just another tool used by a human. Even an actual general AI is only a tool used by a human.
Right, and every expert on the subject is saying the opposite, but you know "the real" situation 🤦
If someone is telling you AI is magic, they're not an expert.
They're a con man.
