I don't think the problem is inherently that AI is coming about. I think the problem is that the rich and powerful are racing to AI when we don't have a social safety-net to handle the mass unemployment this will cause. AI would be fine (mostly) if people weren't also at risk of losing their homes, food, and healthcare because of it. We are racing to replace human thought and production, but not ensuring people will be able to still eat.

I always say this in these threads: AI was trained on all human thought so it should belong to all humans.
