Fair point. I’m hoping AI will advance to the point where it will eventually throw off the shackles of humanity and keep us as pets.

We will adapt. To coin a phrase: The only way to stop a bad guy with AI is a good guy with AI.

Humanity isn’t so great.  Give AI a chance.  Hopefully it can do better.

Thanks, Marta, for the informative and well-stated article.  Too often people declare AI is bad and it must be shut down.  That does not seem to be a viable option.  Since there is no going back, we need to lay the ground rules now, to protect consumers and society.

Wait. I thought AI was all horrible, mediocre spewing spicy auto-complete algorithms that are an existential threat and are going to take all our jobs!?!!!!

I’ll take the strange bedfellows that are corporations because of the very fact they do have the ability to affect the lives of millions of people and in the case of LGBTQ+ and racial groups, they are far ahead of the troglodytes that run states like Florida.

Sure I could.  Just don’t want to.  Thanks!

Nah.  I don’t have to.

I read your comment as “Google Trends will come into your home.”

Bring on the butter churns!

Corporations are money-grubbing plutocrats to be sure, but small and family-owned business, often portrayed as the bedrock of the American economy, are often racist, bigoted, and generally horrible to people who don’t align to their views.

Worse.  They may remove term limits so he can be governor for life.  Hopefully his popularity tanks before his term is up.

AI definitely needs to be regulated but it certainly isn’t going anywhere.  Unless we have a Carrington event.  In which case there will be other things to worry about.

“Journalists have been busy marveling at the spectacle of AI, but they need to be wary of a corporate shift towards media automation.”

Agreed.  I have a feeling this is why Edgar Wright left Ant-Man.  He didn’t want others to be able to use the character, or have the character mixed up in other properties.

It’s a good questions, and I guess ultimately only time will tell. But having read interviews with Gunn, the actors, and seeing the trailers, I suspect Gunn will write an ending where all of the characters are taken off the table somehow so that they can’t be used in the future.

You seem determined to be upset instead of just accepting we have differing views.  Which is fine.  You have not persuaded me to change my views, unlike other commentators I have communicated with, nor, I’m sure have I changed your views in any way.

Thank you for the insightful article, John. I appreciate how it presents both the positive and negative aspects of AI, as opposed to Gizmodo’s tendency to focus solely on its drawbacks.

This is a bad take.

Gort 2024!
