Ah, the classic 'billionaire overlords' trope. While it's true that AI, like any powerful technology, can be misused, focusing solely on the doom and gloom misses the bigger picture.
Think of it this way: the internet, initially feared by some, has empowered countless individuals, fostered creativity, and connected people across the globe. AI, similarly, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, tackle climate change, and unlock new frontiers of human knowledge.
Of course, we need to be vigilant and ensure responsible development. But dismissing it entirely is like refusing to use electricity because a few people might misuse it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to train my AI-powered gardening assistant. Wish me luck in my rebellion against the tyranny of weeding!"

The internet also enables misdirection by mis/dis information. Exhibit A: Two of the largest diseminators of "information" are owned/controlled by two of the largest fuckwits on the planet. One who controls an AI company. You think he is freely giving that shit away? The latest and greatest?
True, I've said it before medical uses of AI are admirable. Cancer detection. Eye problems scanned and examines in the blink of an eye (sorry). AI works there. Agreed.
What does not is the AI used to place a layer between the human and the absolutely shit decisions made by AI passed on to "customers" allowing CEO's wriggle room to have a clean conscience.
Medical (lolocaust) descions made by AI. Rent/housing descions made by AI.
You think you can vett and controll that stuff little buddy?
Assuming you can code to that degree, do you honestly believe you can sway the design team away from designing crap algorithims?
I can wait.
So yes. I can see a great many positives with AI.
Alas you dont need to entertain any conspiracy theories to know that it will not end well given the people who throw money at it have zero interest in advancing anything but their own profits.
To think otherwise is naive at best.
You do you though.
