People Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Make Daily Life Worse::A Pew survey finds that a majority of Americans are more concerned than excited about the impact of artificial intelligence—adding weight to calls for more regulation.
Every other technical innovation has made the average person’s life worse. Why would this one be any different?
The aquaduct…
What have the Romans done for us lately
nice shoes and cars mostly
What an absurd thing to think.
Great counter argument lol.
I might as well argue that the sky is blue. There are countless ways technology has benefited humanity, it’s sort of ridiculous to say otherwise outside of some thought experiment.
It’s also an option to not say anything.
Gives advice, doesn’t listen to own advice. Nice.
I said that it was an option. Not that it was required.
Sorry, when someone says something ridiculous I can’t help but call it out. Call it a character flaw if you like.

That’s a lot of assumptions. Poor people don’t go on the internet?
I have a very well paying job that wouldn’t exist without technology.
I read library books without going to the libtary or carrying around paper, thanks to technology
I pay for stuff without having to carry cash or ever visit a bank, thanks to technology
Cars are technology too, as are flush toilets and furnaces
You don’t sound like an average person.
No other innovation has been able to replace human creativity or general human thought. Computers came close but they required specialized knowledge to build AND to use so displaced workers had an opportunity to adapt and upskill.
Learn to code.
This isn’t really what happened or how the world works at large. It just made a bunch of rich dudes much richer, and west virginians a lot poorer. And yeah it changed the world in the broad scope of things yada yada thats besides the point 😉
I think in recent years a lot of “innovation” has been pure marketing fluff and had no real potential to change the world. This one really might. I’ve tempered my expectations, because tech bros really want us to believe there is magic to AI, but eventually it might actually change the world.
