    I love the tech but have much the same feelings. AI maybe improve the world eventually, but I predict a painful future in the intervening time. I hope investors turn sooner than later to slow this train but we’ll see. Lot of big players betting the farm on AI, to the point where they’ll do everything to see it through.

      Every advance in technology (see all the Luddites in history) have been accompanied with a wake of pain.

        Not every new piece of technology is actually an advancement. You have an extreme case of selection bias in your assessment.

          Name 5 that did not have sweeping adverse consequences, with accompanying sources. I will even accept Wikipedia pages if they have attributions. Make sure they are major ones that really shaped the course of human existence moving forward from their introduction.
