@BlueMonday1984 in his sidenotes can underestimate how promptfondlery the general population is. You can walk past people talking about the singularity in earnest, but when AI misinformation goes out into the real world, there will be a much bigger wave of backlash against tech companies than has been seen until the peak of the bubble, which we are now past. I predict that the coming election will turn more people against AI as the tactics that are being utilized to interfere get revealed.
Monday here, Appreciate the shout out.
I definitely can see the election bringing some nuclear backlash against tech, and probably some harsh regulation against AI as well - we’ve already had Trump using AI to lie about Swift supporting him and deny Harris’s public support at a rally, so the Dems already have plenty of material to use against the industry if they win.
Going by the Atlantic, there’s opposition to AI from both the Dems and the Reps, so whoever wins in November, the industry’s gonna find little support from the White House.
