Further to the very interesting topic on AI-generated TV series by @Valiguard I wanted to go further:

About Art and AI:

Beyond the craze for AI as a technological novelty, there's a serious problem of creativity.

AI is a trained robot. Trained by engineers, not artists. In fact, training is done by looking at what's already been produced. This means theft and zero creativity.

If AI replaces artists, as is already the case, AI will only be able to train on what already exists. So there will be no more creativity, or at least much less. We'll always see the same thing, because AI won't be able to learn.

On the subject of industrial AI:

Robots have been replacing humans for 10 years. The little that's left is being outsourced to India, Pakistan or China. As a result, there's no industry left in France. And for some years now, AI has been replacing humans for "tedious" tasks: the result is more unemployment.

We're told we need to adapt to change, but nothing is being done about it. In other words, we're replacing humans, why not, but without creating a new type of job where these replaced humans could work or be trained.

AI will also replace drivers... AI is already replacing cleaning staff in warehouses and hypermarkets. More unemployment.

The promise: lower costs for the retailer, and therefore lower prices. As a result, prices are going up anyway, because: "blabla war in Ukraine, inflation, etc." ...

In fact, AI only benefits one thing: shareholders, who only think of increasing their profits and have a selfish vision of the world.

In the USA, AI is helping to lay off employees, who have been replaced by AI. (I'll leave you to appreciate the irony and cynicism) I'm sure it's the same in Europe.

The idea of the emergence of a prosperous upper class that owns robots instead of slaves, while the rest of the population struggles to survive, also raises concerns about growing social disparities. Some comments point to corporate preoccupation with short-term profits at the expense of more sustainable or socially responsible objectives.

Overall, a sense of mistrust emerges about how companies are managing the impact of AI on employment.
We'll also pass over the manipulation of information by AI, the media and social networks at a time when we're seeing neo-Nazi demonstrations in Paris and Rome, and everything is being done to counter the slightest discourse of peace and togetherness. ("bhoooo the wokisme ..." ) At a time when there is talk of a third world war, at a time when several countries are undergoing genocide ...

Worse, an absolute nightmare:

AI enters the army. We're going to use AI to "kill better", to aim better, to hit a target for sure, with weapons of mass destruction (pay hypocrisy) but also "robot" policemen, a kind of caddy or dog ... The New York police were equipped with them! But they stopped because the robot was "dangerous".

In France, an agency dedicated to AI in armaments has been set up, costing 300 million euros a year. At a time when in my country, hospitals and public schools are being destroyed for lack of money.

To conclude:

We know what promises are worth. All the indicators are red for the darkest science fiction to become reality. The guys in ties tell you there's no danger, because humans will be able to put limits on AI programs... But today, the program itself is made by AI.

In a world where Nazism is back with a vengeance, the unabashed extreme right, ordinary systematic racism and the supremacists in control of the planet are seen as heroes... What will they do with AI in a world of ever-increasing ecological disasters and ever-widening social class gaps?

What do you think?
