[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]
If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.
Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.


A couple years ago I read a news article written by a woman who had just left her silicon valley career because she was one of the people forerunning the implementation of AI and it terrified her and she saw how bad it was and the long-lasting implications on society and she bailed out due to conscientious objections.
Likely Timnit Gebru who has been working in the area of the ethics of AI for quite some time.
Thanks!
Do you have the article or the name of the woman? I am curious to read it.

Yep, when I get emotional about something and don’t check myself, I become a run-on sentence offender.
But at least no ifs/ors. Makes it real easy to follow the logic
