I'm only kidding with you. There are a lot of varying opinions on AI and what dangers it represents. What I just wanted to bring to the attention of this forum is that conversations about what AI will do (and really are already doing) is being discussed at length and solutions are already being proposed, some of which may unintentionally exacerbate certain problems. I made this post to encourage everyone to pay attention to these discussions when they can and participate in whatever ways possible. AI doesn't have to be "strong," i.e. getting to Terminator/Matrix levels, to be troubling for its societal implications. The conversation is happening in a lot of spaces, technical, policy, critical, philosophical, etc that are trying to unpack what happens next, but there needs to be more robust input from the general public because there is increasingly a pivot to action and solutionism that probably could benefit from more widespread discussion outside the academic and technical community.
