> My issue with comments around the impact of AI is that often they are just not interesting.

To quote the movie, that’s just your opinion, man. To me, the impact of technology on society is 100X as interesting and important than the technology itself. Tech does not exist in a vacuum. And we don’t invent it for its own sake. The major point of AI (maybe the only point of it) is what humans will do to each other with it. And like it or not, not all of those things are positive.

That not all of the tech's applications are positive seems obvious, and hardly makes for interesting discussion.

Is there something in particular that you think would be interesting to discuss here?
