1. All well and good … but won’t AI make money like the REST of the internet makes money? By selling YOU … the user? And you are literally typing in even MORE detailed information about yourself into AI. And what of the POWER of driving selected … curated … lies and passing them off as truth to the masses?

   TBH … AI shouldn’t be answering (strategically incompletely) my questions about many times Biden was accused of sexually inappropriate conduct. No, AI should be used to collate and corroborate the sum total of all cancer research in the world. Not serving up politicized shit answers to my idle curiosity.

      Most people think it’s the productivity loss that’s going to be the issue. Actually it’s the cognitive outsourcing that’s going to be the problem. People are already letting AI do their thinking for them, they won’t be able to just go back to doing their jobs when AI goes away because they will have lost the ability to do so. It’s like an athlete using some sort of assist, once the assist is gone they will be worse than before they started using the assist.
