    I think you misunderstood me. All AI is humanity-ending garbage that needs to be eliminated. I don’t give two figs how or where it’s used - I want it all gone.

      Do you even have a tech background? How is a machine learning algorithm going to end humanity?

        By feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.

        Do have a humanities background? All tech people should have one.

          I have both actually. There are many, many use cases for AI and again, they were used before people like you even knew it was a concept.

                Stats.

                Does anyone else think that the old refrain of letting nerds run the world was actually incredibly misguided because nearly all of them lack the social skills necessary to not be sociopaths?

                  As a nerd who slowly grasped social skills over decades, while most of my cohort did not - yes, hard agree. Case in point - the AI-zealot posting all over this thread.

      AI that finds protein foldings or cures for cancer is humanity-ending? Careful with that stretching, you might hurt yourself.

        You can list a thousand nifty end results of AI and it won’t change the impact it’s having on our environment right now.

        How about this: we put all this nonsense on hold until we solve cold fusion first?
