The majority of U.S. adults don't believe the benefits of artificial intelligence outweigh the risks, according to a new Mitre-Harris Poll released Tuesday.

I don't understand why people don't have the fantasy imagine all the possibilities in which AI can help us progress from the absolutely dismal state of the world we live in currently. Yes there are risks but I just want technology to progress desperately even if I myself live somewhat comfortably for now.
My concern is that the people that already own everything today will capture all of the new value created by AI + automation and the rift of inequality will only deepen.
Guillotines aren't as effective when they have AI-controlled assault drones.
Any war against the rich will be a guerilla war. The National Guard has shinier toys than you.
Wanna bet?
I will bet literally everything I own that you don't have a drone with air-to-ground missiles.
You're right I got an arsenal thats 2000-10000 years ahead of everything.
I can't imagine AI controlled assault drones would help rich people at all. If that was a fear, wouldn't the same fear be around since the invention of tanks or any military advancement?
Some private citizen starts using attack drones, I don't think it will work out well in most countries. Even if the government didn't intervene, which it would immediately

I guess profiting from them, yeah. Guess I was speaking in the OP context as a response to a guillotine

Inequality is a huge problem but overall technology has clearly increased the standard of living globally. Maybe if I was living in the US, the way low skilled workers are treated despite the tremendous wealth it would also affect my outlook I have to admit. Overall I feel that, long term, technology is the only thing that can get the global population to prosperity and AI has the potential to be a massive boost for scientific progress. There must be some disruption imo, mostly due to progressing climate change for which we have no answer.

Whenever there is something smarter, it's always a unique one-of that can't be replicated.
EMH mark 1. They duplicated it and used it for cheap, menial labor. Despite the fact that it was capable of real intelligence (see The Doctor). It didn't dive deeper than that; it was literally the ending scene to a single episode that simply left the audience thinking about the implications, as well as showing a possible start to an uprising.
Even sci-fi has a hard time figuring that out.
Science fiction just is about entertainment. An AI that's all but invisible and causes no problems isn't really a character worth exploring.

No, I don't see a problem in old tropes dying.
Because we've all seen Terminator and The Matrix.
