AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?
-
@JAC yeah it seems like there is more scary things coming from AI than there is good things. I also wonder if it is the scary stuff that makes it more into the media than the good. Usually, it is the scary and bad things that make a story. I mean you do have some of those stories that are good that make it into an article but it seems like the scary, evil things are what definitely make it, so they can make money.
But yeah, the people out there that abuse AI and do this kind of thing need to be dealt with. But what to do with them or about it is something that I don’t have an answer to.
@Madchatthew this is a good point - the bad stuff being reported certainly does make for compelling reading, but how much of it is FUD vs reality? Admittedly, the FUD side of things could be in relation to scaremongering tactics as a means of self preservation (for those industries looking to keep their livelihood intact and are in the firing line for being replaced by AI), but I don’t think that applies to everything you read.
I absolutely believe there is an inherent risk if AI is misused, or deliberately leveraged for nefarious purposes. Whilst I obviously don’t want to come across as all "Hollywood ", it’s a possibility rather than a probability at this stage.

@phenomlab Yes this is a very dangerous use of AI and it has already proven how people easily believe AI generated people and such. Also, people will tend to just believe everything they see and hear.

Yes, and without question, which makes this so much worse.

100% agree with this. The news outlets will always publish the bad news stories as they sell / grab people’s attention, it just appears to me like there’s the chance for so much bad to come out of AI rather than the good stuff.

@JAC and there doesn’t seem to be enough of the good stuff to counter the bad. Not as far as I see, anyway.

Yes, I agree with you both, @JAC, @phenomlab, that it does seem like the bad out weighs the good. I don’t think it always means that will be the case, at least I hope not, and that the good things will start out shining the bad things. Only time will tell I spose.

Wow. I bet every track sounds the same

@phenomlab 100% agree. This is truly disgusting and I hope that they get the same sentence as if it were real children being abused.
I’m going to add that, watch them say that it is art or some nonsense like that and that they should be free to express their artistic side. I am sure that the lawyers and juries and judges won’t be dumb enough to fall for that.

@Madchatthew Given the content, I’m pretty sure the intentions will speak for themselves.

@phenomlab good grief! I think that no matter what good AI can be used for, they should maybe just shut AI down. Just like they should have just shut down social media before it took off because it sucks too

they should maybe just shut AI down
I don’t think that’s ever likely to happen

Cursor AI refuses to write code for a user
Cursor’s refusal also sounded an awful lot like the replies newbie coders could get when asking questions on programming forum Stack Overflow
