People wouldn’t be anti-AI if they weren’t losing their livelihood over AI only to find that everything they thought they’d do while being unemployed is also being ruined by AI.
Spreading hate, fear, causing death, and violating every social standard of consent while they do it.
Something ugly has been grown in the bowels of the bay and it needs to stop.
But with all technology eventually society catches up and the wild west is over.
The solution to this was representative democracy electing independently-minded technical experts, but electoral / parliamentary systems in many countries would need to change to make this viable.
E.g. in the US, what percentage of Congress do you think could give even an accurate 100-level description of AI?
