@torgo because you are cherry picking. There is plenty of positive impact like https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04176-7 and lots of others. As with every technology there will be horrible use and we have to go and fix that as providers and as policies. Generalization here doesn’t help.

@dsp I was being overly broad, I grant you. And I do acknowledge that there are positive impact use cases for Gen-AI. But, when it comes to Gen-AI created images or video, I have yet to encounter such a use case, whereas there is a laundry list of use cases that are actively harmful to society.

@dsp @torgo of course you can use AI for good. but AI as it is is VC funded and plutocrat controlled so it pushes plutocrat political and economic agendas to our detriment the issue is not that we don't recognize the positive potential of a technology. every technology *can* have a positive impact, that's braindead obvious and thus without merit as an observation the problem is you don't acknowledge the bulk of AI is used for bigotry and fascism until that changes, like crypto, AI is shit
