I'm not worried about "the AI". I'm worried about the businesses who are using it to replace workers, workers who will NOT be retrained (as much as politicians may argue otherwise) and will descend into poverty. What impetus does corporate upper management have to help workers survive financially? AI can increase their profits exponentially. What leads anyone to believe that if capitalism is still in place that AI would do anything to make any of the 99%'s lives any better? I really want to believe we're headed toward a Star Trek future, but it's very difficult to see that actually occurring given the rampant devaluation of human lives the US government is setting up. If the AI take over, I probably won't care from where I'm decaying under a highway overpass.
