What is it about tech people trying to treat the world with kid gloves? The world doesn't need to be coddled.
- People using AI to send mass telemarketing messages
- People using AI to commit fraud
The law will handle these cases just fine.
The class of problems I'm not worried about:
- People using AI to tell [liberal, conservative] people to hold [liberal, conservative] opinion
- People saying they learned [X] [fact, disinformation] from an AI
People that want to hold an opinion will do so regardless of information to the contrary. Trying to tell people that they're incapable of judging information for themselves or that you need to design a system to protect them will only make them angry and mistrusting.
The only "fix" for this is to talk openly and honestly and stop treating people like incompetent babies.
Asymmetric costs matter.
