There was a Twitter post about great uses for AI but it’s not being developed. The one I aligned with was scraping grocery store ads and creating a shopping list based on the best prices and personal preferences.

AI is solving problems for the business class. They are trying to stop paying people. AI has use cases to actually make our lives better but are antithetical to the capitalistic companies and would likely try to stop any AI use that undermines their bottom line.

It could potentially one day do that (except the unleash creativity part). Issue is, none of that is profitable, and even if it was, AI that can manage that is still a long way's off and sure as hell won't be found by a for profit venture

What it will actually do is transfer more wealth to the top. That is what these projects do.

Who tf thinks ai will solve climate change? I’ve never heard that ever.

I got a mail about that from my union recently… I think they had some talks about it.

ShinkanTrain ,

People selling AI certainly would like you to believe it’ll fix that and everything else that ails ya

dditty ,

Yeah this was more or less Ray Kruzweil’s take all the way back in 2005.

DashboTreeFrog ,

iirc, there were some statements from companies (Microsoft?) that we won’t have to worry about AI’s effect on climate change because it’ll also come up with the solutions

qaz ,

I’ve heard that from plenty of people

Only if it changes laws of physics. Which I suppose could be in the realm of possibility, since none of us could outthink a ASI. I imagine three outcomes (assuming getting to ASI) - it determines that no, silly humans, the math says you're too far gone. Or, yes, it can develop X and Y beyond our comprehension to change the state of reality and make things better in some or all ways. And lastly, it says it found the problem and solution, and the problem is the Earth is contaminated with humans that consume and pollute too much. And it is deploying the solution now.

I forgot the fourth, that I've seen in a few places (satirically, but could be true). The ASI analyses what we've done, tries to figure out what could be done to help, and then suicides itself out of frustration, anger, sadness, etc.

Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?

Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is

And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like

And becomes new clickbait in the process.
