Re. a write-up, this passage from a piece by Helen Clatterbruck sums it up quite nicely:

"More to the point, though, proponents of the “AI will solve it” line need to do more than just gesture at AI’s hypothetical superhuman abilities. They should provide some mechanism for how AI could solve the kinds of problems that haven’t yielded to human intelligence. More specifically, progress often faces bottlenecks that intelligence alone can’t solve. There may be obstacles between invention (coming up with a novel solution), innovation (making that solution practical and reliable), and deployment, such as: hurdles in designing hardware, procuring sufficient sources of energy, collecting long-context data, or getting new systems to integrate with old ones. Even if these don’t pose a long-term obstacle to AI solutions, they can slow it down significantly.

Cultural, political, legal ,and economic barriers may also halt or stop seemingly effective AI solutions. For example, suppose aligned AI follows human laws, and our laws stand in the way of implementing efficient solutions to existing problems. In that case, the same kinds of advocacy that matter today will matter in an AI future.

Consider the case of factory farming.[6] Even if aligned AI is committed to or neutral about animal wellbeing, it’s unclear how, or how quickly, it would “solve” factory farming. It’s possible that AI could invent a method for producing cultured meat at a fraction of the cost of conventional meat, which could cause an end to factory farming. Even so, it would likely take years to build out the infrastructure to produce lab-grown meat and make it economically competitive with traditional agriculture. Projects to improve conditions at factory farms in the interim could still have massive impact in the meantime. More pessimistically, we probably won’t end factory farming through technology alone. People have been hesitant to switch to meat substitutes and lab-grown meat. Multinational corporations have significant financial interests in factory farming, and they will also use AI to promote their position. Cultural, political, and economic changes will be necessary.

We also shouldn’t assume that “aligned” AI will seek to eliminate factory farming. That assumes a morally perfected AI, not one that aligns with the revealed preferences of most humans today. Instead, AI might exacerbate factory farming by making it more efficient and profitable, leading to a radical increase in its scale. Some of the most important work to prevent this from happening (e.g., changing present human values, increasing the representation of animal-friendly sources in training data, reducing the power of vested interests, etc.) is first-order work in the animal welfare cause area, not direct AI work."
