    AI has the ability to revolutionise the industry in a way that it needs in order to survive - greatly reduce costs and greatly reduce production times.

    Do you know what those words mean?

    AI is being used as a force multiplier, and it’s being used as a force multiplier for evil. It’s being used to replace jobs, to put hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions of people out of work. At scale, it takes up more power than entire cities do, and the data centers and power station upgrades that it requires at that scale ends up with companies literally demolishing entire residential areas, forcing people out of their homes.

    AI is not worth the trade-offs and the massive sacrifices required for it. It is destroying society.

      I do. It has the ability to revolutionise the dying, spiralling out of control movie industry. How? By cutting costs dramatically, and by reducing production time. What would usually take 2000 people for $200mil might now be doable with 50 people and $200k. That’s revolutionary technology.

      AI is not “destroying society” 🤣

        1,950 people out of work, and an extra $199.8 million for the handful of suits producing doesn’t sound like it would be a net gain for society

          So we as a society should pause all advancements in technology so we don’t ever make any current jobs redundant? It’s like saying we don’t want to end homelessness because then we’d put all the people working at businesses that help homeless people out of jobs.
