Yeah, I agree. Sometimes I see people who are criticising AI in terms of its societal consequences, and whilst they’re decently on the mark with that, they say things that are just straight up wrong on the technical side. It makes me wince, because I worry that incorrect info may end up serving pro-AI discourse instead.
Angela Collier is good at avoiding falling into this trap, and she does so by not pretending she knows more than what she does.
I see your point, and it’s a valid one. It’s just so exhausting that you need to be an expert in the thing you hate and that’s obviously destroying society in order to talk about it’s effects on society. It’s like that with gun-nuts, if you don’t know the specific differences between AR-15 and M16A1, you’re not allowed to have an opinion on how easy it is for a child to get one and societal problems stemmed from it.
