Before you read, just be warned I’m a little upset as of writing this, so I might say some more heated things in this post.

I’m already tired of everyone talking about AI how it’s a “bright new future” and how “nobody will ever have to work again” etc… Is nobody even considering other possibilities (and no, I’m not saying that AI is going to unite and destroy humanity and other movie crap)?

Like, plagarizing for schoolwork is as easy as asking ChatGPT for the text and then running it through some humanizing AI tool to make it undetectable for AI tests. Or deepfakes, which I can’t believe aren’t still legally regulated yet, when you can already use a couple seconds of someone’s voice recording to make them say anything you desire and either make a scam phone call from that or forge fake proof about someone saying something they never did. And that’s just the less evil part. What about people in power using AI with evil intentions?

I’m just tired of all those AI fanatics happily announcing how AI can be used to do this, do that, eventually how to wreck military bases, strategize wars and other terrible shit using AI. What a bright future.

And I’m not even going to talk about how it’s going to change job world forever.

I’m all for modern technologies, innovation and progress, but even for me, this is just too much to handle. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Maybe I should just watch less AI news, maybe it’s just paranoia like with Covid. I’d LOVE to be PROVEN to be overreacting, but I’m not sure if that will be possible. AI is just going way too fast.
