The problems with artificial intelligence is plentiful. So I basically wanted to do a poll where the people answering could tell me what they see one of the more fundamental problems are with artificial intelligence and or what is their biggest concern with artificial intelligence specifically in the way that is going to affect either the planet, the society or humanity as a whole.

One of my major issues with artificial intelligence is that these developers of it are putting hundreds of billions upwards to trillions of dollars into it to try to manifest this artificial false intelligence instead of putting that money into education systems so that people can increase their actual real intelligence. This is even more insulting seeing how the current society is getting dumber due to social media and the artificial intelligence with the AI slop is making them even dumber. The insult is twice-fold.

    To my mind, there are several big concerns, of which it’s hard to pick one:

    • Invasiveness and total disregard for people’s privacy;
    • Laws being rewritten in favor of Big Tech;
    • AI being used without proper oversight, especially in programming (where it already introduces critical bugs), science and education (where it already blurs scientific truth);
    • Intelligent, naturally speaking bots swaying public opinion in the interests of the few;
    • An exponential growth of AI training datacenters and the subsequent effect on an environment, alongside the “let’s just throw more money at it” kind of problem-solving.

    I might be in the minority here, but I believe AI is here to stay, and our duty is to make sure it doesn’t persist in this evil form, with shady private hands shaping our lives for their profit, reckless and greedy.

    AI must be transparent, public, sustainable and ethical. Along LLMs, the most discussed subset of it, LLaMA and then many more have shown us that AI can be open-source and transparent. DeepSeek has shown smart engineering greatly reducing the costs and environmental impact of AI training, and more. Now it’s time to make AI public and ethical as well.

    The way it exists today, however, it can burn in hell, and I wish they got an especially hot cauldron there for Altman and the likes. Oh, and whoever develops military AI - I wish them a very pleasant miscalculation that would make them the target.
