This underlies an important risk in off-loading cognition to AI. People won't understand what they are doing if they trust it will get them what they want. Hurting themselves or others will be inevitable and they won't have realized their course of action would. Human contribution to the relationship with AI will be expressing desires and actioning on the steps the computer outputs. Everything in between will be an unnecessary to know, unknown.
Capitalism has already done that for over a century.
Greedy shitstains failing to understand the damage they cause.
Yes but this tool (AI) is completely unprecedented. No other attempt reached that far, that quickly, and that not-second-guessed, into the daily lives of that many people.
And I think the greedy shitstains understand the damage they cause very well. Hooking up millions, making them completely dependable in your product, isn't an overseen problem, it's the goal.
Eh... plastic and petrol have done it before.
