For some reason what is happening with AI and automation is very reminiscent of the horrors that happened during the industrial revolution, history repeats itself doesn’t it? Nya…

changes: i mean there are similarities with the loss of professions not everything matches what is happening now but some points are worrying. Especially given the likely collapse in the future, I think it may well be that most people will not have much choice, such as working for a small salary, and making money through creativity will be almost impossible and few will be able to afford such a luxury, given that the market will be under the complete control of corporations and AI.

I just know that those in power, once they see that they can do whatever they want, they will do it, and they won’t care whether you agree with it or not. They will crush you like an ant… :3

    You are glossing over the fact that “who’s hurt by it” ignores the future potential benefits.

    Not having an industrial revolution would have hurt a lot of people too, condemning millions or billions to the limited quality of life that existed before it. No modern medicine, no modern amenities, just 90% of the population subsistence farming.

      If you think the unethical advocation of human suffering as means to justify a tenuous benefit is going to fly here, you’re mistaken. That is what you’re saying, yes?

            When hating becomes a team sport, it’s a serious problem. There are benefits and negatives to this technology, like with most things, and anyone who can’t recognize that is a complete moron.

              Of course, there are advantages, but the disadvantage is that this technology is quite dangerous, considering that it was created to control the population and collect data from correspondence, as a result, a document is obtained about each person, and such that it is possible to predict what a person will say and why he will do it. In any case, for some it will be useful, and for others it will be a threat.

              So despite the morally, socially, physiologically and environmentally destructive properties surrounding generative AI, and the levers of power it grants to the fascist regimes on the rise, those advocating for halting this tech until these very real human concerns are addressed are total morons? We’re just fearmongering?

              With all due respect, you can go fuck yourself.

                The same things were/are said about the internet itself, and here you are typing into a webpage.

                You aren’t just fearmongering, but you are fearmongering.

                  Dude, calm down, I understand that some people have a hard time accepting opinions different from their own but there is no need to start a fight, we are not on 4chan. :3
