Raw LLM Responses

All the doomerism regarding AI is so ... I'm not sure what the appropriate word is ... basic? It's like people only get their opinions about AI from Sci-Fi. I have yet to hear a coherent path from chatgpt to apocalypse. AI doesn't have desires because it doesn't have emotions, so ascribing to it motives is wild. The economic doomerism is also obviously off the mark because we have spent the last few centuries automating everything we can and we still work non stop. Work never stops. As long we have bodies that need to be maintained, we are going to be working. In the meantime, chatgpt is showing +50% efficiency gains already in certain fields. These are gains that are virtually unprecedented in all of our tech revolutions, even the internet. I am personally more productive than ever before thanks to it. Are people trying to stop this because vague notions they got from watching SF movies? It's so dumb. AI is a tool. We already have all the elements we need to destroy humanity, and there's no reason to ascribe AI any special apocalyptic potential. The problems we face or societal, not technological. It's governments and people we need to fear, not AI.
