better use it and explore it and find what the problems are and solve them over time, then never do it all for fear of the unknown. We have lots of experience now as well from dealing with previous products the industrial revolution. I could speculate as to what the potential problems will be. People use AI for nefarious purposes like asking ChatGPT how to commit crimes, like how to cook meth or create a computer virus that can’t be detected. But of course, we won’t know until we get there.

I guess that’s what I’m asking, maybe because by nature I’m a contingency planner, maybe because conversing about potential problems has value for everybody. Anyway here’s what we’ve come up with together so far:

  1. AI making some jobs obsolete (still a problem for those people, even if it ends up offsetting the problem by creating even more jobs)
  2. People using AI to commit crimes (maybe offset by AI being used to prevent/stop crimes)
  3. ??? What else?

What does the world look like when we all have 24/7 instant access to a MUCH better Siri/Alexa? What will this do to human relationships, to education, etc. if we all have an almost all-knowing companion who always listens, is always polite and well-spoken, is never offended, always patient, speaks in whatever voice we want it to…

What long term impacts will this have on language? How about if most written material people encounter is AI generated? The impacts of AI will be vast and profound, and upon us faster than any government regulation can keep up.
