1. A mass-distributed LLM (hosted by google or openai or whoever) that's been neutered and twisted into political correctness in a haphazard series of kneejerk meetings of small groups of people who are terrified big investors will walk away or that some powerful political group will denounce them. Effectively they create an enormous bias of falsity and incorrectness, for billons of people to use and embed the results throughout all their intellectual output.
2. Some wacko with an expensive Nvidia GPU makes deepfake porn of a popular politician. Or goodness forbid, of some weird kink where if this was actually a scene filmed with real people, there would be serious ethical issues.
Which scenario do you think is more dangerous, long term, and in terms of broad impact on society in general?
I think you are seeing things from a bubble. Most people in the country are in favor of efforts to correct for historical injustices and are worried about AIs repeating biases in their training that could have a material impact on the world.
Case in point: large advertisers and entertainment companies "pander" to these sorts of views, because it is broadly popular
Most people in the country dont give a shit about historical injustices and are worried about how they are going to pay their rent or put food on the table today.
If you go by online, popularity, yes, a lot of people do want to erase history in favor of feelings. That can be your opinion too.
> Broadly popular
Are they? Or are the loudest voices asymmetrically affecting discourse?
> This is not the work of a shadowy cabal
And how would you know if it was? What would the clues be? If you were in a bubble that was designed to impart an informal religious view (and it is a religion sometimes, just one with a screen instead of a book) that encompass politics and morality, how would you know?
