Man, some of you people are pessimistic without reason. Have some nuance.

AI is a double edged sword, like every piece of tech really.

It will sure as hell help the average Joe in more ways than one, especially in the medical field. However it will also enable bad actors.

What we need is get more of the good and less of the bad

Saying: "Billionaires bad, will fuck us all" is the easiest thing to say.

However, in all of history, technological advancements have helped even poorer people.

The greatest recent example:

The internet. We literally have all of human knowledge at the palm of our hands, we can connect with people who we wouldn't be able to in our lifetime, but at the same time, it's easier for companies to steal your data and spread misinformation.

See? It's double edged. A general rule of thumb is: If it doesn't have drawbacks it probably doesn't have much advantage to begin with.

Same with AI
