A.I. is (in many easily imagined use cases) a weapon of war. The idea that it should be principally a private-sector industry is extremely non-obvious to me, just as common sense tells me SpaceX should not be a privately owned and operated company. It’s also a force-multiplier for loneliness. It gives people who have already been developmentally harmed by the technology status quo a much larger supply of slop to scroll through, a much larger supply of manipulative propaganda to cook their brains in, a much larger supply of pornographic material, and a much more life-like illusion that communicating with a computer is the same thing as socializing.
