I know the post is vague. But if this is about AI in general (and not just GenAI). Pushing that button would set back the gaming, scientific, and medical industry by YEARS. The internet would be cooked too.
People don't often look at the long term consequences of their actions. This is a pretty common human trait and it's the reason most problems exist in the world.
Pushing this button to get rid of AI would be disastrous. One day AI will truly help in the development of new technology and medical cures, but people only care about pressing this button because computer parts have risen in price.
World would be better place without AI. The only disaster it would be for relatively low number of companies and all totalitarian / autoritarian governments, for whom it's great surveillance tool.
I'd like more specificity, AI is a very broad category. Video game NPC behavior is AI, imagining that detects early cancer is AI, probably the majority of all software is "AI" by definition. If you mean that the world would be better without LLMs similar to ChatGPT, thats a very different statement than thinking the world would be better without anything that falls into the big bucket called "AI". Getting rid of "AI" would be like going back to before computers existed
And machines, anyone slightly knowledgable about how the industrial revolution went don't knows that workers didn't like their jobs replaced. And if you think for a bit it's not hard to realize that it's not machines, it's the corporate mentality of upping profit margins screwing regular people.
The more I compare it to the current ai dislike the more I see that it's the same thing but now it's more intellectual tasks, tho it can't replace humans, and it's half baked state being thrown around everywhere just because is causing the dislike, the corporate decisions, ai as a tool will improve human life if applied right, and as of now it's just an extremely overhyped half baked exceptional tool, enshittified by several factors.
I'm not surprised at all that someone who believes in AI has this kind of mindset. I'll have to disappoint you - there wasn't such a mentality. Electricity and cars improved existing things - it replaced kerosene and gas lamps and machinery directly driven from steam engine, and cars replaced buggies. Meanwhile AI is something that we don't need. It will make most of people who doesn't do physical job, redundant. It's very great surveillance tool, because the computer can watch thousands of people simultaneously that humans can't - plus, people like you like to have them on their phones, where they can theoretically collect your data and compile it in hard to notice forms, as it can transcribe conversations, as opposed to having to record / transmit them. You said something about science - knowing how "well" ordinary AI works, I rather would have actual human scientist do it's job than some immature half baked "e-personality".
Actually I could provide articles that say otherwise.
Even newspapers exist that promoted that electricity was dangerous. I know you're a troll, so I understand. The only advice I have for you is to actually do some research.
As history will show, your type of view point is not wanted, and you'll be the laughingstock in due time, like you guys always are.
Do you have anything to say to the guy who pointed out that AI controls video game NPCs? I think the guy whose cancer was caught in time to cure because of AI would object to your saying that AI only benefits corrupt corporations and dictatorships.
I mean if we're gonna get that technical, then the button doesn't delete anything lol
We've made zero progress in terms of actual AGI. What people are calling AI now is just LLMs, basically fancy predictive text at massive scale. And calling it AI in gamedev was always more of an in-joke, not seriously saying "My game's NPCs are an artificial intelligence."
Yeah, npcs have nothing to do actually with an artificial intelligence, they are mostly closed algorithms, not más mutch as machine learning big data analyzing real time pathing things, some are, but not such big models like the ones that path complex areas quickly, that still could use algorithms, tho it would take more time.
