I recently wrote about this. I am in several Facebook groups as a writer and an artist and AI has come up in both categories of groups. Most people are fearful of books being written by AI and illustrated by AI, so fear of losing their livelihood is paramount.
It’s important to acknowledge those fears, but I hope people are also able to grow beyond these fears to knowledge and understanding of what AI can and cannot do, then based on that knowledge trying to understand if and how they may need to adapt.
Acknowledging fears are important, but living permanently in fear is perhaps not good for anyone..?
I hate the fact that such a small number of tech capitalists have so much power over all of humanity’s future. And they have decided to invest billions and billions of dollars in AI while ignoring proven solutions for humanity’s biggest problems. It’s also extremely energy intensive and I feel disgusted knowing that once again, our planetary limits are being disregarded for the latest hype. I feel relieved when it makes my personal life easier. But I actively don’t rely on it much, even if that makes me less efficient. tech’s “go big or go home” and “we’ll figure it out as we go along” approach to AI makes me feel very angry.
