I agree that AI is a tool and the ethics and morality reside in the user. However it is unlike any other tool ever created. Does a blender decide what ingredients go into and what level to use? Does it alter it's contents in error or "deliberately" as it sees fit and deliver errant content from what the user desired, or even poisonous content? My admittedly sparse understanding of AI is that, in it's present state, it is capable of doing both. With the political situation in this country being what it is, I cannot trust that adequate and sufficient safeguards can be put permanently in place to counteract AIs negative and harmful potential.
Plus the harm in replacing human creativity with AI is horrendous. Ditto the harm to our environment including the acceleration of harmful climate change. It is, in my view a contemporary Pandora's box which has been opened for the self-serving interests of malignantly wealthy Tech Czars.
Lastly, if you post AI created/assisted content on DU, I believe it would be courteous for you to identify it as such in the subject line. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
