Artificial intelligence was not developed to usher in a dystopia, in fact it had a rather utopic mission. By further automating mundane tasks, AI has the potential to ease the workload of millions of workers worldwide in every job and field, potentially giving them back their precious time of the day without sacrificing overall productivity.
Yeah, good luck with that.
In reality, everyone gets fired, the rich get richertge poor get poorer and 99.9% of humans will live in a dystopia, if AI doesn’t kill us all.
Yet the AI bros go like “that won’t happen to ME though!”
Every business that fires their employees and tries to replace them with AI ends up hilariously screwed over by it. It’s not going to get to take over the world levels in 2 years.
Anyway I’m safe, the company I work for still use a software written in 1995 so I reckon I have until at least 2045 before they introduce any AI.
If we had a proper social safety net for all the displaced people, I’d be more open to it. But as things are now with rampant greed and a government for the corporations, fuck AI.
I could see your argument if UBI was a recent concept (made by bad actors aimed at fixing today’s problem in order to steal the government from the governed tomorrow), but the concept has been around for a while: wiki article.

Definitely a fair and valid concern, then; I suppose that will always be an inherent risk.
