I shouldn’t be surprised by this. It’s 100% on brand for Obama being pro-AI while pretending fascism isn’t a huge danger. But it still grinds my gears.
Remind me, how many rocks should I eat per day again?
I like that we can only shape the future, and AI is the only one making the future. Very good.
Uses for AI:

Funny hallucinations

jerking it to clanker art is not good for your soul
ai generated hentai sucks
It’s not bad for text classification tasks and simple NLP. There’s plenty of potential, it’s just everyone over the age of 35 has inexplicably decided it’s the Magi from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- Funding Obama’s documentaries.
I’ll be surprised if Obama doesn’t put out a wildly pro AI doc in the next couple years.
Waiting for Braniac- Why schools should fire all teachers and just use AI to teach the kids
This really is a golden age for grifters. All they need to do is use the right messaging and techno babble for the right audience
For the GOP: “aiTeacher will make you gobs of money. We’ll spare you the techno babble because who cares if it works?”
For the dems: “aiTeacher is student empowerment in a world of rising global competition while minimizing costs and maximizing teacher throughput. It’s a high growth-potential investment.”
It’s kind of okay at being a better search engine when you need it to figure out concepts for you or are fuzzy on what language to do. Of course, that could be accomplished with better standard NLP, too.

The funny thing is that the US’s inability to create a central AI strategy will inevitably lose them the AI race. China has an enforceable plan for faster and more sustainable AI development by keeping everything open and being able to enforce assignment requirements. This proposal is entirely reasonable and a good idea to implement, which is why it will never get passed. America’s inability to do why sort of central planning will result in the US falling behind in the AI race, just like how that inability is the reason why China’s economy is as powerful as it is.
