Will people learn to accept AI just like any other technological advancement?

[Quote Cursor]

The AI topic has gotten attention as people are more accessible to use it and it's been viewed as taboo to use in creative spaces. This topic is also being discussed (or debated) at Government with bizarre methods of introducing an anti-AI task-force that drone-strikes data-centers. But the nature of AI and it's implication are also wide (and arguable wider than other technologies); like with voice synthesis or even image generation. There's also a concern of using it in plagiarism or data-collection/advertisements/profiling.

My question is fellow farmers, is the AI a threat to society or is the threat just fearmongering because of a new technology?

I say the Internet, the telephone, the radio, the television, printing press had lead to concerns but people got over it when it was adopted.

if "AI" sticks to just being a very fancy chatbot like chatGPT or whatever, then people will certainly just get used to it and future generations will grow up with it to the point that they couldn't possibly imagine the world without it. if they manage to advance it significantly further than it currently is, i think it could cause problems. we are already dealing with non menial/physical labor jobs being put at risk, and that hasnt been the case with previous technological advances.

previously it was mostly the physical labor types of jobs that were most affected by advances in things like automation. which means it was mostly the lower and lower-middle class jobs which were hurt. now we have the potential to hurt upper-middle class jobs. and those people tend to have political and social power that lower classes dont.

i think with advances in AI we will definitely see government stepping in to regulate it and will probably see laws and union rules aimed at protecting jobs. that is, even if a job such as a special effect artist could be automated away, the rules and laws would prevent them from doing so in order to protect that human job. human jobs > AI jobs will be the thinking.

I doubt AI will ever be particularly tolerated. Even when we basically just have chatbots, TTS programs, and some image generation programs, people are flipping out because their "artistic talents" are under threat by a program creating often mediocre work. These same people have enough influence to shape our culture in ways that the average factory worker can't when his job is outsourced or replaced by a finicky machine, so we run the risk of them actually being able to ban civilian usage of these programs simply to protect their precious acting/screenwriting/drawing careers. Even if they can't outright get them banned, they'll probably always be bitter about the existence of AI threatening their easy life, and will look for any excuse to claim that the algorithms are going to go Skynet to justify a Butlerian Jihad.

AI wouldn’t be as engrained in the future just like how the internet was today. The thing is that AI is not perfect and cannot surpass normal human intelligeice. Even the best AI in the future will never be able to do even a fraction what a normal human could do. Yes AI may take a few jobs, but it wouldn’t be as much as we expect.

It doesn't really matter if we accept it, just as it doesn't really matter, if insect accept us. Some day AI might well overtake our organs, planet and place in the peckin order, and there will be nothing we can do about it.

It's fitting that our fake bullshit society is bestowed an AI whose primary strength is in its ability to create fake bullshit, the first people who will lose their jobs are the fake bullshit peddlers.

real true and honest autistic computer scientists thought it was funny soydevs were being paid 200k a year to write javascript webapps in the google donut so they made large language models to fuck them over as a giggle
dumb niggercattle like us get to live with the consequences of their actions
luckily chatgpt only knows about as much on a topic as is on the wikipedia page so if you have basically any specialized knowlege at all you're fine basically
total fake it till you make it death

AI needs the human touch to be effective as it's still a tool (at this point). I see it as something that will eliminate the untalented while the talented need not worry or may even use it to further enhance their work.

Modern man has become a master of Bullshit and mediocre work. It's why we're aren't going to Mars any time soon. In the place of talent we have loud mouths and woke gatekeepers.

Based on a recent experience, I can foresee at least one area in which AI will become a problem. AI chatbots will become one more layer for major corporations to put up between themselves and any kind of accountability to customers by replacing all traditional avenues of customer service communication. They'll probably hope to frustrate complaining customers or customers trying to get improvements or changes to their service into giving up by running them on loops by failing to understand their questions or give satisfying solutions.

It depends on what it's limited to. If AI takes all the jobs except digging ditches and sucking dick then most people will be pretty pissed.
