AI - Artificial Intelligence - Will it eat you Alive?

[Rockport]

A large percentage of what you see in social media is AI generated. That’s where the real threat comes from. Unfortunately, there are many people who see an AI generated Twitter post and believe it.

100%

Half the population can’t tell fact from fiction. Wait until these deepfake/AI doctored videos start improving and they will be utterly convinced.

I see absolutely no reason to think we’re heading to the positive outcome you foresee.

It has to. If people don’t have jobs, they don’t have money to buy things and capitalism collapses.

People don't have jobs or money now.

That won't stop the machine; there will likely just be a greater disparity between the rich and poor. AI won't fundamentally change human character traits such as greed, self preservation, and tribalism.

Beyond that, I was really talking more about the notions of advancing mankind.

There are many possible outcomes. We do know a few things for certain though. Greed still drives humanity. The government is slow to change and usually waits till the last possible minute. 8 billion humans came into existence because of industrialism and mass farming but soon that need for 8 billion will disappear. How it all plays out is uncertain but I’d guess the earth’s future population will be a few billion less and new way of thinking about economics will surface.
