To be honest, these result really feel like we are playing with fire here and inventing things that are too powerful for us. Automation has proven to be beneficial on a small local scale (like food processor instead of cutting things up by hand) but on a large scale, I feel like this is too society-disrupting. For example, imagine if ChatGPT gets so good that it can replace humans in nearly every type of writing -- we'll be drowned in AI writing and most writers will be out of a job.

It is too quick at concentrating all the best abilities into the hands of a very few, and takes away from human connection (instead of reading what a human wrote , we are just interacting more and more with computers and less with humans).

I think if you add up the costs and benefits, the costs very much outweigh the benefits.

I also think any programmer creating this technology and even people who show it off are incredibly irresponsible. It is on a similar level of publishing a new recipe on how to make a very powerful, undetectable explosive device, just because you can have some fun with it in your backyard. Analogous reasoning to show that innovation is good does not apply here because it is on a scale we have never seen.

The creation of these AI technologies sickens me, and the people who are making it sicken me even more. I truly hope we will actually be a bit more responsible here and delete this trash, but like all times that have come before, I doubt we have the wisdom to do so.
