Someone used Midjourney to AI-generate images of politicians cheating on their spouses — though claims that it was well-intentioned.

Frankly I’m struggling to see even a single upside to AI at this point. Shit like this fucking sucks.
That’s like saying you’re struggling to see even a single upside to explosives.
I can genuinely see more upsides to explosives.
Better combat in games, massive increases in technology as a result of AI designing things, the ability to test millions of potential medications at once, guidance counciling, greif counciling, counciling in general, once it’s gotten over it’s hallucination issues massive increases in intellectual development, the ability to fully automate supply chains, the ultimate sword and shield combo with MAD hopefully ending all physically violent wars, and the fact that eventually anything a human can do, an AI could do better.
I think you’re overestimating its potential… leaving very critical things to a machine is not a good idea, and I’m not sure how it will test medications
Ai will give opportunities to the handicapped in a very near future. Imagine a paraplegic artist or coder or sculptor who can describe to a machine their ‘vision’ . They can do that now even with a picture. Soon they can do that with a 3d machine. I don’t mean ‘make a painting of the mountains’ but instead ‘cadmium red mixed with yellow brush stroke in circles’.
When you think of AI try not to think of the bad actors. Try to think of the good things that can come from it. All the worlds that will be opened up for people.
I don’t disagree with the point you’re making*, but please, #SayTheWord - we are disabled, not handicapped (note that at the end of this they also discuss a shift to person first language, as in “person with disability”, which some people do prefer, but many others, myself included, still favour simply “disabled” or “disabled person/adult/child/whatever is relevant”).
*I will just say that disabled people currently needing to, in most cases, exchange privacy and sometimes even security so that the companies selling these devices can make even more money, for access to these new technologies, is not something we should be ok with, and we should be fighting for accessibility that isn’t dependant on profiteering, but instead on the actual will to include disabled people in society.
There are lots of open source projects involving AI that you can run on your personal computer. I think the community-driven projects are heading in the right direction, but it’s completely opposite for the ones owned by corporations as they’re only driven by profit margins, not people.
