Yes, I agree, but the relevant debate isn't "pro vs anti-AI." That's a fight only one side can win.
The relevant debate is: "human empowerment vs disempowerment".
It's still a long-shot, but at least there's a specific target that a majority may be able to agree on.
(Not saying you were specifically saying either.)
I think his point is that “human empowerment vs disempowerment”, in the long term, is itself a fight that only one side can win.
I mean, fair—it's a possibility. But what are we to do with a point of view that admits no positive outcome?
I would guess that our near future includes mass suicide on an unprecedented scale. I have a spot picked out, at least.
