It cuts to ONE OF the roots of the problem. It’s just not the “evil gigacorp” problem.
It’s the problem of the effect on the user, regardless of how evil or altruistic the AI and its creator are.
I have lamented in a few comments recently about how many people seem to think the purpose of technology is to make it so they don’t have to put effort into their life. They don’t need to learn, and they don’t need to create. They just need the right technology and a good enough bank balance to pay for it.
I’m a tech person but for the last couple years I have made my hobbies and home life as much about nature and life sciences and physically interacting with the outdoors, building shit, taking care of my animals, etc. It has been very very good.
