We might be willing to recognize AI as a boon to society, if it came with systemic reforms to balance the losses of jobs and tax base. Sociopathic Oligarchs shouldn’t be allowed to increase their profit margins by irreparably damaging society.
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.

That’s exactly how it’s being sold to people: as something that will fix society. Like this politician:
This was after AI was used to encourage and plan a mass shooting.
Prompt: “How can we fix climate change?”

i dont see how A climate damaging AI that guesstimates words/pictures would be useful to people. it has been shown to make people DUMBER as a result.
??? what kind of brain gymnastics is that
How do you expect “reforms” from an autocomplete 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.
nobody said a thing about what AI thinks
