That was not a very insightful article. It's super easy, and in most cases, correct to hate on AI. But that ignores a couple key facts:

* It's not going to go away and will only get more sophisticated whether we like it or not.

* It has legitimate super powers that can enable people do things that would either be impossible or insanely expensive.

I've been fascinated by tech my whole life and have watched various waves of technology transform society:

* solid state electronics enabling portability and functionality hitherto not possible

* integrated circuits bringing down the cost and increasing the capability of electronics, including microprocessors

* the personal computer revolution

* mobile telephony

* the internet

* smart phones

* AI

Most of those wonders have come with significant societal costs (e.g., silicon valley promised a revolutionary new industry without pollution, but instead gave us multiple superfund sites to clean up the toxic materials they haphazardly dumped without care, etc.)

We can't stop AI but we should try to have serious conversations how how to live in a non-dystopian world that it threatens to bring us. The small flaw with that idea is that those in power have no fucks to give in that regard and will sell out humanity if it means they can have the deluxe bunker package and enough slaves to serve them.

There, fixed that for you.

I'm not saying the haters have zero point, but I find AI far more useful than not. I think so do most people. If I walk into any coffee shop and look over the at the screens of the people next to me, I see all asking AI questions and getting something positive from it. So I don't think "most cases" is correct.
