Do you think AI is more likely to end Humanity or to end Capitalism? (lemmy.ml)

I feel as of CEOs worried about the dangers of AI are equating the end of Capitalism with the end of the world, what are your thoughts?

I fear it will end egalitarianism.

Many imagine future AI as an autonomous agent. I don't think anyone will release that. Instead, I expect to see a generative AI like GPT-4, however one that produces super-smart responses.

This will create a situation where the amount of computing resources someone has access to determines how much intelligence they can use. And the difference will be much bigger and more comprehensive than the difference between a genius and a normal human.

To be intelligent it has to be creative, and if it really more intelligent and creative than a human that means there is no way a human can keep it in check

Which also means either you get something smarter than humans which will end up as “autonomous agent” or you get a more precise version of what we correctly have, but as of now without an intelligence of its own
