alt Hacker NewsWhatever benefits AI has to offer on a societal level are going to take a long long time to show up, give it some more time. We had smartphones in 2007, and e.g. By way of example, Uber didn't launch ridesharing until 2013, and then that still took years to seep into the public awareness.
By comparison, we're in the early years of AI. We're all still figuring out what this thing even means.

I agree with you, but those examples are going to fall on deaf ears. The pessimistic mindset will say that smartphones were a terrible invention that's ripping society apart, Uber is an unethical company exploiting workers, etc.

Uber was a massive mistake on every level.
This is what is so frustrating about this whole ai thing is we aren’t learning from the mistakes of even the very recent past
