There is a huge difference between not taking care because it’s not important to you, and not taking care because you can’t. It’s a cop out to mix up both.
It’s completely ok to acknowledge that you can’t do it, and to ask around for others to relay you. That’s society at work doing good things for all of us, and that’s how we get out of all this mess. It’s perfectly fine !
I’m sorry but you are just showing you don’t know what AI is about. AI isn’t a shop-bought meal. It’s paying a white supremacist who pinky-promises you he’ll feed people you just have to give him money. The white supremacist chooses what he wants to do with the money: maybe he’ll feed people because they’re white, maybe he’ll beat people because they’re black, but one thing is for sure: he will always work for his own benefit. Not for others, not for you, and certainly not for disabled people.
The correct comparison with AI is not, as many people say, a neutral tool. AI is a political project aiming at domination of a large part of the population. The apt comparison is slavery. Yes, it can be very useful ! It’s free workforce, you don’t need to argue with it, concede anything, and things just get done. Slavery is fine if you’re part of the dominating part of the population, just like AI is fine if you’re part of the dominating part of population. If you’re on the other side you will always be exploited, dehumanized, tortured (yes, subjecting people to constan horrors in the name of “training” is torture)
Let’s redo your analogy now:
Slavery, and AI, isn’t going to help the homeless or the disabled. Destroying the earth, appropriating others’ art and work and knowledge for personal profit is not helping, it’s actively hurting.
What is at stake here, really, is your own appreciation of the goods vs the bads of AI. If the literal anti-democratic project is acceptable because it makes you feel like a good person (“I’m helping people !”) then there is a big work to be done to unravel that. When your personal opinion of yourself is more important than the actual good you might do, something is wrong.
