Why Protesters Around the World Are Demanding a Pause on AI Development
AICars need regulations. Airplanes need regulations. Medicine needs regulations. AI can be a great thing .. or not. Depending on how we treat it.
I agree it needs regulations but not in this context for the purpose of saving human labor/jobs. No car, plane or medicinal regulstion is there to save jobs.
I didn't really think that was the main issue here, but sure. I don't think jobs should be fossilized and frozen because so many of them aren't satisfying anyway, however, depending on the rate of adoption, there may need to be things like slow downs and pauses in order to avoid economic upheaval. I know some people want as much economic disruption as possible in order to force changes like UBI, but lots of bad things happen with a crappy economy as well (e.g. post WWI Germany). It's also a backwards facing, head in the sand approach to managing something that needs immediate attention.
What's the main issue then? Or did you mean economic stuff is the main issue
I guess the main disagreement here is the speed and severity of the economic upheaval. We see some great looking thing that AI can create, such as images or videos, and then we realize that the application of such is still 5+ years away from being useful.
Just like when GPT was first announced...it took like 4, 5 years to become "useful" but even that first popularized version didn't really have any real application.
It's developing faster than some other tech, sure. But it's not going to be that dramatically different. Companies can't simply change their entire infrastructure within a quarter, and it also takes a lot to convince them to make the change in the first place.
