Why am I not terrified of AI?
I&#x27;m terrified of AI.<p>Both the imperfect good enough AI, and the post-human skynet AI.<p>In my personal life, I have friends addicted to ChatGPT. While we are talking, they are talking to chatgpt for advice, for jokes, for planning David Bowie themed parties. They literally run everything thru this AI first.<p>My firm&#x27;s marketing department is using ChatGPT heavily to write copy, tweets, etc.It&#x27;s amazingly great. Our ROI&#x27;s have been fantastic.<p>I&#x27;ve read the stories of thousands of people treating Replika AI like some kind of lover.<p>Stable Diffusion with ControlNet, is amazing fun and cool, but what an existential threat to 80% of artists.<p>As a mother, AI instagram models are something that keep me up at night. Will my daughter compare herself to these things without knowing they aren&#x27;t real and go insane, will my son view real women as inferior. I don&#x27;t know, but I&#x27;m thinking about it.<p>AI has we have it today is already changing paradigms. It so easily exacerbates some evolutionary weaknesses in us. People are treating as alive today, Business  managers want to replace as many people as they can with it, today!<p>We can&#x27;t really define what makes us unique and conscious. We can&#x27;t even agree on how to define consciousness for living creatures, how can we define it for a digital existence.<p>I&#x27;m worried that the current form of AI is already surpassed most people. Stable Diffusion can generate art way better than I can. ChatGPT can write better than I can. ElevenLabs AI can speak and imitate voices better than I can.<p>I think it&#x27;s really a brave new world with this radical technology that has so many immediate practical uses, and more just keep coming out so easily. I never would have guessed neural networks were so flexible, and that&#x27;s what scares me the most.
