 "They don't realize that AI actually mitigates dangers like hate speech, misinformation, propagandist attempts to corrupt the electoral system."

(You would think there would be an "and" in there)

It's funny because for over a decade (idk how long exactly) AI has been used to propagate misinformation, hate speech, propaganda, corruption and run psychological operations.


Chatbots ->
"They are going to democratize creativity to some extent. They can produce very fluent text with very good style. But they're boring, and what they come up with can be completely false"

There's a little bit of irony here and it feels contradictory. 

Chatbots are usually thought of as a program with predefined answers, whereas AI take your input and uses various algorithms to feed you an answer determined to be sufficient. 

In all reality it depends. It's all basically the same thing now.

AI will certainly take jobs away - but it'll be a long time before these systems can actually behave like a human brain, rather than imitating, mimicking, and creating an illusion of "thought". ( 🤔 .. technically... lol 🤐)
