Reply to comment by jeremy-o in AI won’t replace you. There will be different jobs in the future that don’t exist right now. by [deleted]

.....are you not worried because if AI is already on the developmental course to paperclip humanity out of exotic there's nothing we can do about it at this point or because ai wiping out large sections of human culture and identity forever in a finacial sense isn't a big enough warning bell to be worth considering?

Seriously though I'd feel much safer if there was more work beimg done in AI Alingmemt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_alignment

Technology has preserved more culture than it has destroyed. Identity? I don't see it. We're adapting to globalisation through the internet but otherwise I don't really see your point.

My point is that when you start asking "will AI replace artist?" (A question 2 years ago I'd have laughed at and confidently said no) and now it's being asked with seriousness then maybe something is up.

AI has suprised us, and just because that suprise happens to be neat pictures definitely doesn't mean we shouldn't step back and VERY SERIOUSLY considering AI Alingment (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_alignment) because i would much rather spend a bunch of money to check "No AI doing art like this isn't an indication that in the next 5 year's we're going to paperclip ourselves out of existence" and have a very solid and robust feild of research into "preventing AI from killing humanity" than the alternative which is overlooking what really looks like a dead canary in this proverbial coal mine and dying in a truely unavoidable fashion.

Edit: as it stands if humanity tried to automate every job we could with existing AI technology (not new or experimental technology) I'm absolutely certain all capitalist civilization would collapse due to too much of the population being out of the job and unable to buy things. Collapsing civilization is definitely not a small thing and AI can already do it if we where stupid about implementing it.
