And even so, the big critique around ai is its negative impact on the environment, on communities near data centers, and the fact it also uses copywrited material without the consent of the creators

That’s not even the biggest issue, it’s so strange that people seem to not care that AI will and is actively taking jobs from humans and giving them to machines. This isn’t a plow to tractor situation. We’re talking about something that can act on its own accord without much human input. The first jobs to go are going to be book heavy/ pencil pushing jobs, then it’ll go to automation in factories, then it’ll trickle into hard labor and construction.

It’s too fantastical, that’s why most people don’t care. Sure, there should be fears about rapid AI implementation without proper off-ramps for labor…but this idea that AI will be doing everything and no one will have a job is a bit much.

But it’s not so fantastical when you really look into it, industries are already experimenting and funding projects for mechanical workers that could work within human environments and even with humans. The future is not as far away as people want to believe, either way, why take the risk and allow AI more power than nipping it now before it has gotten out of control? (As in, companies favoring AI/Machine work over humans.)

That’s going to happen though. It’s inevitable at some point whether it be 10 years or 100 years away. The problem isn’t having machines replacing humans for work, it’s the concept of work being the only way to survive. With the change in how work will be also comes a philosophical and societal change in how we view ourselves as a species.

Key point there, who decides how society will change? Because if it’s the current leaders of society, I don’t see that going well. That scenario would require a huge amount of enlightenment on today’s generation and humanity as a whole would have to reach global consensus. But I don’t think we’re ready for that type of change yet. Not for a long time.

Enlightenment comes from strife.

At this point, it would have to be a lot of strife in order to achieve the level of higher thought we would need. The world is petty, and I am reminded of that fact everyday.
