What fears do you have?

My feelings:

- it's kind of a "cheat code" which makes a lot of mental work pointless. Why expanding your cognitive abilities if AI can do most of mental tasks faster and better?

- human creativity isn't any special thing

- giving more power to people eventually leads to a disaster (e.g. industrial revolution and climate change)

- I can't explain how AI can be so powerful and it makes me anxious

How are you preparing, spiritually, practically, and emotionally, for some or all of the following:

- Mass politicized generation of fake citizens

- Training set poisoning

- Intentionally malicious/biased AIs deployed (say, by a billionaire infuriated by basic empathy?)

- Hitherto undiscovered forms of AI leverage by bad actors?

Near as I can tell, we almost lost democracy to the Facebook recommendation algorithm; I don't see our business-as-usual political institutions surviving the loss of trust in mediated communications that will almost certainly result from generative AI, even if said AI is not sentient or conscious.

So how are you preparing your families and communities for what comes next?
