A lot of good points. I will mention though: giving examples of AI making 'bad art' doesn't mean it's not production ready.

DALL-E/Midjourney has been available to the public for 1 month and there are already indie games being made entirely from its output:

I would not make assumptions about what this tech can/cannot do. Blanket assumptions like "well it wont be able to do 3D", "well it can't animate" are being challenged literally 4 weeks after release lol

Whoever thinks AI isn’t a threat simply isn’t looking far enough ahead.

AI isn't the threat. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. When you have bad kids becoming criminal adults, you don't say the kids were always the threat... who raised the little shits, eh? You have to look at the progenitor, not just the creation.

We are the progenitors of AI. If AI is going to go bat-guano deranged and be a woe unto us all, well, we brought AI into existence. Maybe we should consider why we are bringing this AI brainchild of ours into the fold and what we can do to be a good role model to it, so it doesn't nuke the world to smithereens just for the fun of it.

I am against AI precisely because I do not underestimate human stupidity. The solution is not to make humans even stupider, as AI does.

Do not include me in your we. If I had the chance, I would kill everyone responsible for its creation.

They do so, because they wish to create a world in which no human has any importance and obligation, and gets to wither away at their couch like a leech. It’s a dreadful future.

I seriously doubt you know what you’re talking about if you think AI might nuke the world. What is going to happen is that one day, it fails, the overgrown babies that comprise the future will be unable to cope and cause the human race to go extinct.

I see that as a threat. When I feel threatened, I fight. You want a brawl? I don't want to spill blood in this forum. If you wish to fight me, come find me IRL and I'll help you find your maker.

Okay so you have a point. I don't know what I am talking about. But mention overgrown babies that comprise the future and I now know that you don't know what you are talking about either.

Maybe we should just find out each other's postal addresses IRL and dig a deep pit and fight to the death. It may help the world once you're gone and I'm in prison. When we're both where we each belong (you, six feet under, and me, in solitary confinement) this world will be a better place.

Okay, now cut it out, both of you. Concrete threats of violence are against our terms of service. Having strong feelings about the subject matter is one thing, but this is going too far.

Whoever thinks the human species will survive long enough to produce an AI that threatens our survival needs to get their head out of the metaphorical clouds and look out the window at the actual existential threats we are facing.
