The fifth person you meet in AI Discourse Hell is The Luddite. I can have a drink with The Luddite. We're buds. The Luddite knows AI is real, and knows AI is a threat. But not in an overblown, watched-The-Matrix-too-many-times way. The Luddites are concerned about the very real risks that people are going to lose their jobs, our environment is going to get trashed, and our society is going to get stupider.
The Luddite is more right than wrong. The current crop of generative AI models are absolutely built on massive immoral exploitation of creative work. Sure, we could built new models and new policy regimes to solve this problem, but will we? As long as the tech industry and government are as cozy as they are today, there's not much incentive. And of course, I think there are some promising pro-social AI innovations-- like AI models that recognize pre-cancerous cells in medical imagery. We could also, for once in our miserable history, actually decide to listen to The Luddites and distribute the windfall fairly. We could build a society of increased leisure. But will we? Again, I wouldn't bet on it, at least short of a massive societal rupture.

Again, I wouldn't bet on it, at least short of a massive societal rupture.
So then, why is The Luddite in hell? Well, you see, between the tech industry and the governments who have zero interest in reigning it in, The Luddite is always in hell.
