Tldr:

A.I. should held to the same ethical standard we hold humans, because humans will find ways to abuse A.I. use for potentially unethical means.

Mildly infuriated at the potential of A.I. manipulation by bad actors

Tldr end

I firstly want to say that I believe A.I. Development has a place to be worked on and has the potential for human growth but I also feel mildly infuriated at the potential money sink out-of-control corporations could develop.

I've seen arguments increase about A.I. and usually the heated arguments are very specific to a particular aspect. It does make me feel frustrated and I am trying to maybe express an aspect of A.I. use too I guess.

I am not trying to start any wars on the ethics of the use A.I. however I feel that there should be some form of ethics implemented. I guess that line of thought falls in with calls for regulation.

If I glance at how social media and games go when A.I. is used as means to figure out how to make the "factory must grow" it feels like things will only get worse as there will be an ever increasing drive for getting one more currency. The more the algorithm grows and refines the more lifeless things seem to get. All this with just "basic" A.I. models.

Efficiency increases, but what is the cost?

If I compare something like Reddit to Lemmy... Lemmy feels more "alive" because social interaction without the "corporate machine interface" trying to analyze you feels organic at the moment as you know there is a human and not a bot trying to make you engage.

My anger is not at the A.I., but more the way A.I. can provide unethical actors a means to push a questionable agenda. One can already see it with things like influencers and targeted advertising with human actors, and once said unethical actors figure out how to train and develop A.I. to successfully mimic a human I fear for the control said actors will push towards an unsustainable precipice towards a desired state of consciousness.

Maybe it is fear of a dystopian future, but I fear the reality of said future is more real if A.I. doesn't have ethics either.

If said topic is not in line within forum discussion, please let me know and I will remove it and if possible please direct me to a more appropriate instance

Thank you for you time

That seems like a whole new line of worry when Morality is controlled AI defined laws and the possibilities of those laws being justified by special interests
