I knew I wasn’t interested in A.I. for a while now, but I think I can finally put it into words.
A.I. is supposed to be useful for things I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about. But since I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I’m having A.I. do for me, I have no way of knowing how well A.I. accomplished it for me.
If I want to know that, I have to become skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I need to do. At this point, why would I have A.I. do it since I know I can trust I’m doing it right?
I don’t have a problem delegating hiring people who are more skilled at or more knowledgeable about something than me because I can hold them accountable if they are faking.
With A.I., it’s on me if I’m duped. What’s the use in that?
The core problem is private ownership of something that is/hopes to be everywhere.
Like with industrial revolution, or later automation of manufacturing with industrial robots - the workers labor built up the capital that could buy & own the robots, which now gets more financial gain. Yet the workers gained nothing from this - they only get to buy the same products at still lucrative margins.
Witch means the end product was that workers still need to work peak hours to survive, not less hours to work on their own projects, participate in society, advance it, etc.
Additionally with AI is that wealth and tech concentration is very high & the resulting end-game (where everyone will be basically forced to use AI for daily necessities, like stores, banking, etc) even worse.
There is nothing wrong with the tech itself, it absolutely has it’s uses.
Foss & pubic infrastructure is the way.
Random thought/association:
Not to promote or anything (it’s a normal, watchable cartoon), but I’m still surprised to see that Fox is airing a show where the base premise is that a bunch of workers (from a hotdog factory) get replaced with “AI robots” and in return get a basic income from the factory each month, and they just enjoy life.
