The more realistic argument is that AI will be used as a power amplifier by the already powerful.

actually is the opposite, it would democratize power at an unprecedented scale, that's why corporations are funding these NGO's (useful idiots)

>>waihti+J
Through what mechanism would it democratize power? I thought the GPTs were already limited to regular end users due to computational constraints. Most people can't afford dozens of Nvidia GPUs and the API infrastructure to data mine.

>>anonym+(OP)
Nah other way around. It would amplify the majority. That's why the powers-that-be consider it a huge potential problem.

Ah yes, because all those normal people will be able to run these powerful models on the devices that they currently own. Such a naive take.

The rich will ALWAYS get their piece of the pie, and once they've had their fill, we'll be left fighting for the crumbs and thanking them for their generosity.

AI won't solve world hunger, it will make millions of people jobless. It won't stop wars, it will be used as a tool for the elite to spread propaganda. The problems that plague society today are ones that technology (that has existed for decades) can fix but greed prevents it.

computers used to fill rooms and now you carry one in your pocket

>>waihti+ga
And yet rich companies and government agencies still have computers which fill rooms. https://www.energy.gov/supercomputing-and-exascale

And those which are carried in our pockets are no longer capable of being home brewed.
