Wow!

So much stupidity.
If AI takes over it's because stupid people will let it take over. They will swallow the lie that it will make our lives so much better. It won't. Because we don't know how to handle it. We don't understand it's proper roll in society. It's the same with all technological advance. There is always a down side (sometimes a big one) that gets swept under the rug and ignored because it's so much fun to play with shiny new toys and all the money they can make.
Look at computers. Damned useful; sometimes people do outright fabulous things with them. The internet, ditto. Cell phones, maybe, maybe not. But we've spent decades sweeping all the negative aspects of these technologies under the rug to make sure they work mostly for the benefit of making profits, not the betterment of society. They replaced artisans and skill in many fields, replacing them with heaps of rubbish and inferior goods.
I have little faith that our politics will usher in this new technology in a way that benefits society equitably and prioritizes humanity.
