Morgan Stanley: "the hype around generative AI may be justified and..."

18. Hunter, it's great that your family has valued both science and the arts

so much. And kudos to you and your wife for raising your kids that way.

Valuing physical labor is great, too. My grandfather and one of my uncles were farmers.

I would like to see everyone well educated and valuing the arts, science and physical work.

I believe AI threatens all of that. People in the arts should have at least some chance of making a living from it. Blue collar workers shouldn't have to worry that they'll lose their jobs as soon as corporations can get agile-enough robots controlled by AI.

We do not have a society providing a social safety net if almost no one works.

Nor do we have other outlets to give people a sense of purpose and achievement if work and the arts are handed over to AI. Do you really think we're going to have a future where corporations and the wealthy pay enough taxes for everyone else to live comfortably and idly?

Do you think we won't dumb down the population, turning almost everything over to AI?

And there are more immediate concerns. We should not allow corporations to rip off art, music and writing created by humans so AI can "create."

And we should not tolerate AI chatbots that "hallucinate" and communicate in a convincing, authoritative tone even when what's being communicated is wrong, sometimes dangerously wrong - like the recommendation of eating crushed glass from the scientific AI chatbot Galactica that Meta had to yank after just a few days last November.
