alt Hacker NewsI know I sound like the cliche hubristic mad scientist here but, the public seems completely incapable of thinking of the potential of AI and it is deeply frustrating. Is this what a factory worker oriented school system gets us?

> the public seems completely incapable of thinking of the potential of AI
I don't think this is true at all. It's more that when faced with something that is making your life worse right now, there isn't any solace in an ephemeral speculation that it might be great in the future.
It's far more concerning that so many people are incapable of understanding the reality of it.
"Hey guys, good news! You will all be made redundant by AI and we, some intellectual elite who somehow think we're not going to be affected by AI think you're going to be happy about it!"
The public is literally being told that white collar jobs are gone. What do you expect?
