AI IS HAMMER, ALL PROBLEMS ARE NAIL, Part 2


I know tech has a bro problem, or at least that's what they tell me.

But I also know when you have a hammer in your hands, every problem around looks like a nail.

Artificial intelligence has a lot of potential. But in our society, the easy path to potential is for using AI for bad ends -- because the ol' hammer/nail analogy applies for those using these tech products for the most part.

It's a fallacy to think that "Hey, if everyone like me were in charge, we wouldn't have Problem X." That might be true. We'd have Problem Y and Z and probably a lot more that are universal to THEM and US, but that's now how the hammer/nail people think. And they exist in whatever sex/whatever you want to scroll up on the big Wheel of Whatever.
