    No shit!!! 🤣

    I work in the AI field (f.k.a. Tech) and let me tell you: the only ones saying it will have a positive effect on the U.S. are the executives and their lickspittles.

    AI may have a positive effect in Europe. They have rules and stuff there.

    “AI experts” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. “The AI experts surveyed are those who were authors or presenters at an AI-related conference in 2023 or 2024 and live in the U.S.”. So basically people who are part of the snake oil business.

    What an absurdly misleading and generally useless poll.

    Shocking: People working on a field more likely than people not working on that field to say that said field is good for the country.

    In other news, water boils at 100°C.

    AI has the potential to make most work optional in the long run. Humans have the potential to not use this for a global, eternal vacation full of rich experiences and artistic expression, but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

      Automation does. Not AI. We can automate work but a language model will not take away the work just the communication.

      This is literally the only realistic outcome I expect of this. Capitalists will claim the right to the entirety of the profits generated because they “own” the AI, will have by then already destoryed any social safety nets in order to have their taxes reduced, and people who can’t find work will be left to die.
