Why are people so afraid of AI?
Humans have patterns and that is why they can be recognised by them. Authors have a certain writing style, their book are often about very similar things, musicians sing and act in a specific manner that makes the recognisable and few are able to truly reinvent themselves or their style. Is that a “lack of creativity”? Are they just inferior beings unable to break out of their bubble?
AI is a tool. It can be used for good, bad and everything in between. If you see it as something one should fear, loathe, or despise, that requires a meme quip as a kneejerk reaction to anybody mentioning it positively, maybe use your own reasoning to come with a thoughtful answer, or if you can’t then maybe don’t.
People won’t care until they are directly impacted. It won’t be enough if their nan dies of a heatstroke. They have to have a heatstroke, have an inundated house, lose their belongings in a forest fire, or switch careers because there aren’t any more bees in their area. And even then, once they solve their own problem (if they can), they will forget about everybody else.
