The danger of AI isn't skynet, it's insurance companies using AI tools to raise your premiums in real time using CCTV and sensors in your phone, it's police using AI algorithms to engage in "predictave policing" and sentiment analysis of political dissidents, it's governments using AI Generated articles to drown out Google searches for some scandal that just happened, it's some AI tool allowing corporations to make more complex inferences about you using the data they already have on you and then using that to charge you for something.

It's exploitation with a thin veil of objectivity and "mathematical facts", that's the danger, an insurance provider you can't argue with, a cop you can't reason with or even see, it's a notification on your phone telling you that you owe an extra grand on your taxes or insurance premiums because you got in a car accident or because your son just got diagnosed with Leukemia and Google Assistant overheard the diagnosis on your smartphone and sent it to the relevant agencies.

@Shadowman311 the other danger of AI that people actually are talking about is the fact that AI will likely take your job

@flux_the_cat AI will also take almost every solitary creative job eventually as well, imagine growing up and all the books you read are AI generated slop, all the art you see was rendered by a computer, all the TV and Movies you watch are AI generated CGI movies starring actors who have been dead for several centuries.

Man, have you played original AI dungeon? Best porn generator I've ever seen.

Nah. It won't be an AI slop. Instead, every story will be an interactive one with unlocked input.

@LukeAlmighty @flux_the_cat In July of 2020 that thing was one of the most insane things ever.
@LukeAlmighty @Shadowman311 @flux_the_cat Really we're just waiting on one of the local host models to really matchup with Open AI and Claude (which are good in their own right but filtered requiring jailbreak to do anything fun). I know Chub Venus offers it's own unfiltered models now, though its not free.
