Can your confusion be treated with a scalpel?
I dunno, is it heavy and blunt?
It's AI... So.... Yeah.
I dunno, I like AI for what it's good for, the luddite argument doesn't particularly sway me, my clothes, furniture, car, etc, are all machine made. Machine made stuff is everywhere, the handmade hill to die on was centuries back during the industrial revolution.
The anti-capitalist arguments don't sway me when specifically applied to AI. The corporations are going to bad things? Well yeah! It's not "AI bad" it's "corporate bad".
The ethical arguments kinda work. Deep fakes are bad, and I don't think they the curios AI provides tip the scales when weighed against the and of deepfakes.
Tl:Dr AI is a heavy, blunt tool.
