> Big tech monopolizing the models, data, and hardware.
This ought to create a neofeudalist society. This is really dangerous.
> Copyright concerns.
Will I create something if I know it'll be part of chatgpt and effectively replace me? This will affect creativity and critical thinking for sure.
> Job security.
Well, this one could really be problematic for everyone. We're talking about social unrest and revolts on a global scale.
Let's take the UBI premise for example:
Problem #1: - The market will correct itself, meaning that if everyone has X amount of cash to buy products, services, etc... businesses will just increment their offerings to take advantage of that rendering the UBI useless.
Problem #2: - If governments regulate the market to avoid businesses from incrementing prices, this will decimate small businesses and consolidate big corp, creating monopolies, etc... circling back to a neo feudalist society.
Problem #3: - Will this solution apply to developing countries? It'll be easier just to ban AI and stop foreign companies from entering the market since the current government won't have the resources to apply UBI to its population. New era of protectionism will start and that'd makes sense if you want to protect your countrymen.
> AIs becoming sentient and causing harm for their own ends.
We're not close to that but should be discussed since I saw on twitter someone stating that we need "human rights" laws for "sentient" AIs.
> Corporations intentionally using AI to cause harm for their own ends.
Hand in hand with the first issue.
> Feedback loops will flood the internet with content of unknown provenance, which get included in the next model, etc.
> AI hallucinations resulting in widespread persistent errors that cause an epistemological crisis.
> The training set is inherently biased; human knowledge and perspectives not represented in this set could be systematically wiped from public discourse.
These three go together too. No trust whatsoever since you don't know if what you're reading is truth, etc... This would be the ideal goal for any government or politician, to commit unspeakable acts without any accountability since no one will trust anything on the internet.
This decade will define everything going forward for future generations. These topics are no joke.
