The Real Threat of AI: Not Singularity, but Antisocial Behavior

The author isn't worried about AI singularity or robot uprisings, but rather the antisocial behaviors AI enables: coordinated inauthentic behavior, misinformation, nonconsensual pornography, and displacement of industries causing job losses. The risk, the author argues, isn't the technology itself, but how it alters incentive structures, exacerbating existing societal problems. Furthermore, the author criticizes AI companies' disregard for user privacy, such as using encrypted messages for AI analysis, potentially leading to data misuse. The author calls on AI companies to make AI features opt-in, respecting user choice and privacy.
