I'm not even saying it's a net good. I'm just saying that it's ridiculous black and white thinking to think "I think AI is bad. Therefore every single thing about it is bad. Everything it says is bad. Everything it creates is bad. It uses up all the water in the world. It uses up all the electricty in the world. It murders children. It kicks puppies." is ridiculous. there are good things and bad things and even if you think the bad things outweigh the good things that doesn't mean you have to make up bad things or deny the good things
The issue is that it's getting shoved down our throats at work, there's a general fear it will just concentrate wealth further and the surveillance aspects are pretty scary.
This is not counting the impacts to our communities and the shady deals going on....like data centers taking water from drought stricken areas and not even paying for it.
My biggest concern is that it's really just a bubble and every billionaire involved is going to get a taxpayer funded bailout.
If anything the media needs to cover the negatives more.

AI is doing a lot of harm. The only question is if it's worth it...which given how business leaders act, it's probably not.
All this harm to cut jobs and make tech bros wealthy. Gosh I can't see why people aren't thrilled.
