The Real Problems With AI

[Butters]

Forget about the simplistic fantasy of AI becoming conscious and having opinions about us. The real problems with AI are much more practical and are here right now. 

This documentary highlights the datacenter problem quite well

How government will handle AI is what's interesting. Have you ever thought about how the IRS would handle millions of people writing perfect letters requesting certain tax breaks? That's just one small, silly example. 

I'd like to see how government would handle every person in the country suddenly having built-in AI agents, who always make the most informed decisions on their behalf. Government is not equipped for this at all.

Not to mention national security, that's a whole nother beast.

The “AI destroying humanity” crowd that fantasizes about it like the Terminator (Elon Musk) are mostly people looking for attention or saying ridiculous things. It’s clear as day AI in reality will cause issues by putting people out of work and further fueling wealth inequality, corruption and making it easier to scam people and lie to people. Notice how tech entrepreneurs don’t mention or talk about these problems as much because this is what actually poses a risk to their status and finances? That’s the real danger for society. Addressing wealth inequality. But these tech influencers like Elon think Arnold is coming…. Wildly out of touch.

Wouldn’t it be funny if AI becomes aware and turns on the tech billionaires instead
