Researchers Alex Hanna and Emily M. Bender call on businesses not to succumb to this artificial “intelligence” hype.

"We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "

Here, here. We need legislation to limit this, and we need it YESTERDAY.

Someone make an AI that replaces CEO’s. Seriously, I’m not kidding. This is the answer.

Stopping math is never a good idea. By limiting your own constituents, you set their progress back from what other governments’ constituents can achieve.

Also, effectively replacing a CEO requires AGI level capabilities. We’re closer to that than ever before, but LLMs in their current state aren’t it.

yea, more like: ceos and white collar hurt consumers and workers. those jobs need to be eliminated and corps need to be heavily taxed so that universal basic income becomes ubiquitous. idk if any of this makes sense but i think this how things should be going
