AI has done widely-accepted-as-bad things (e.g. spamming social media, datacenter physical consequences) and seems to have done less widely-accepted-as-good things (code improvement, but many people aren’t convinced. Is software today better than 1-2 years ago? I can’t find clear examples.)
Good or bad, I believe the genie is out of the bottle, and we should do the best we can using and mitigating AI. But I don’t blame or disagree with anyone who’s critical.
