AI research should be completely halted due to the existential threat it poses and lack of benefits it provides

Why not a partial agree? I don’t think all kinds of AI research should be halted, it has genuinely useful applications for data analysis, I do think generative AI is really bad for society and that should be halted though Having two agreed and one disagree also makes it look like more people are disagreeing than agreeing even though the opposite is the case

Ngl I misunderstood this as AI (specifically LLMs) doing research and was very concerned

Crazy how people watch dystopian Sci-Fi thinking it's predicting the future and not realizing its a cautionary tale of the worst case scenario

I don’t think AI research poses a threat, although we may be considering different things research. We’re already at a point where AI has already taken root in places where it is threatening, whether or not it continues to be improved. The things that are still being researched are the things that are actually helpful. The stuff that got done first was the stuff that made the fastest cash.

The risk of AI imo is people losing critical thinking skills, not it taking over
