It’s another wealth transfer; the wealth hoarding class wants to further devalue the skills of working class people.

Aside from dehumanization, grifting and the environment, I read somewhere that AI and Crypto companies will trigger the next financial crisis within a year. It is expected to be larger than the 1929 one. With the formerly most powerful nation of the planet being led by a demented baboon who is played by a bunch of tech millionaires, I find this very concerning.

I like having water... my friends in Texas and California have seen water levels lowering and their bills rising. I'm in Michigan and terrified for the Great Lakes

Accountability. When the AI causes measurable harm to an individual or group, will the owner of the service be held accountable in the same way that an individual would be? I doubt it. The corporations will just pay settlements and keep doing everything in their power to avoid being held responsible for what their AI says or does. People are too trusting of corporations and anthropomorphized software.

My major issue in general is how much trust people would have for AI and blindnessly follow them without much doubt if whatever they are saying is true. Computers are stupid, they will make mistake which often cause by coders making one in the code.

I feel that AI really is like a two three edged sword.

• Used responsibly and double and triple checked by humans, it can do some amazing things.
• Used irresponsibly it can have millions of people under the false impression that someone said or did something that never happened.
• Used for obvious silliness and not trying to deceive people, well okay, everyone needs a laugh now and then.

For the most part, I think AI should never be used for serious purposes, but when it is, the results need to be triple checked by actual human experts. Fuckall with the deepfakes and slop though.

To my mind, there are several big concerns, of which it's hard to pick one:

• Invasiveness and total disregard for people's privacy;
• Laws being rewritten in favor of Big Tech;
• AI being used without proper oversight, especially in programming (where it already introduces critical bugs), science and education (where it already blurs scientific truth);
• Intelligent, naturally speaking bots swaying public opinion in the interests of the few;
• An exponential growth of AI training datacenters and the subsequent effect on an environment, alongside the "let's just throw more money at it" kind of problem-solving.

I might be in the minority here, but I believe AI is here to stay, and our duty is to make sure it doesn't persist in this evil form, with shady private hands shaping our lives for their profit, reckless and greedy.

AI must be transparent, public, sustainable and ethical. Along LLMs, the most discussed subset of it, LLaMA and then many more have shown us that AI can be open-source and transparent. DeepSeek has shown smart engineering greatly reducing the costs and environmental impact of AI training, and more. Now it's time to make AI public and ethical as well.

The way it exists today, however, it can burn in hell, and I wish they got an especially hot cauldron there for Altman and the likes. Oh, and whoever develops military AI - I wish them a very pleasant miscalculation that would make them the target.

It does not work. Plain and simple. It is artificial, but far from intelligent. In the end, they are parrots with a dictionary, and that dictionary is actually stolen.

I have two main concerns.

First, it simply does not deliver what their designers promise. As in: it is far from being an intelligence. It does not think. It just processes (mostly stolen) data to imitate a conversation not based on actually understanding what it does, it basically mimics humans by application of statistics.

Second, because some people and companies have wasted tons of money in this already, they are doomed to reap money back somehow to delay the AIs stock bubble's popping. Therefore, they fake acceptance by stuffing AI down every users throat, regardless of, and often even against users express wishes.

If i google something, I am perfectly happy with search results pointing to human made pages like wikipedia or stack exchange or IMDB. I don't need a crazy digital monkey at the top that either just parrots what the page I was looking for says, or, worse, which produces total junk replies.

My main concerns are resources and labor. We're already struggling with getting off of dirty fuels and now we have this enormous demand to meet, plus water reserves are going to become more and more stressed. The interests of capital always wins over the needs of people especially in America where quite literally our economy now hinges on the success of AI companies.

As for labor, again from the US perspective, human life has no "value" to the ruling class if it cannot labor and produce a profit for others. As AI takes more and more jobs, people will not be taken care of, they'll be left to suffer in poverty. Eventually the AI systems will become better integrated into better robotic systems and then the job loss spreads way past "office work" and an enormous amount of jobs are lost.

I don't have a very bright view for the future to be honest. The interests of capital always win. :/

Besides how low-effort it is to use AI in any project, I fear the porn and what the psychological and cultural impacts will be in the long run on gen alpha and beyond.

I know that porn, specifically, has pushed forward many different technologies that are now fully mainstream. I don't necessarily have an issue with porn if it's made between consenting adults and the consumer doesn't have an addiction to it. However, things like ComfyUI are making the whole deepfake thing massively accessible to anyone. From training it on pictures scraped off social media all the way to generating full on explicit videos. It's already happened many times, and will only get worse as this goes unfettered, but kids are making porn of other kids. Whether it be out of spite, they think it's a harmless joke, or whatever. I'm sure there are adults making porn of kids, too.

Other people in here have made excellent points, all valid IMO, but this one scares and saddens me the most.

That it’s not AI but is marketed as such. It has and will continue to kill people.

That it is a tool for the non-working class to extract labour and productivity from the working class without having to risk rewarding the working class with anything.

They steal our skills to train their models without paying. They charge us to train and reinforce their models. Then they use them to flood the market to suppress wages or eliminate jobs altogether while using our money to lobby against social programs like UBI.
