Because at this point, some people are suffering damage by the use of AI. I might not be hired as a translator in the future, my income is gone. Others have had their artworks, texts, creative output stolen (plus their work isn’t needed anymore). We have delegated creative work, which should be humans’ pride and joy, to a machine. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind do such thing?
So we as humans have to have a discussion about the responsible use of AI (I think nobody who screams ‘down with AI’ has any illusions that it will ever disappear again). As with any new tech product, the discussion should have been had before it was unleashed onto the public, then again you can’t talk about it if you don’t use it. It’s also time for the researchers to pick up on that sentiment and explore the ethical uses of the great power they have created.
If those now losing work as text and image workers were retrained as IT security people or AI prompt inventors before such tech was introduced, brilliant! If the numbers about ecological sustainability and advantages for society add up, I’m on board. But I want this to be a slow process and a public discussions (maybe with time some media learn to tone down the techbro/luddite extremes), before we drown in AI-generated shite nobody ever asked for.
