Title text: This is how you all fucking sound
[A smug tech bro wearing a sideways cap, watch, chain around his neck stands in front of a data center by a lake with dead fish. A smoke stack blows pollution into the air]
Tech bro: AI is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug man in a suit with cigarette in hand stands in a restaurant while two disgruntled diners cough from the smoke]
Suit: Smoking indoors is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug man in a top hat and suit stands in a factory with two sad and dirty children]
Hat: Child labor is already here, there’s no going back.
[A smug plantation owner stands in front of a field with with two angry slaves]
Plantation owner: The Atlantic Slave trade is already here, there’s no going back.
Nonsense
Following the logic of the meme:
AI is here and cannot be regulated and limited, like also not big corps, billonairs, corrupt politicians.......
Technology cannot be uninvented, it cannot be blamed for the evil, self-interested and stupid use without law and rules that is given to them, bad habits, bad laws, and abuse isn't an valid simil to AI, but a human one.
The problem with the comic is that the other 3 have specific definitions and "AI" is entirely too vague
Like how leaded gasoline, CFCs, and ActiveX cannot be uninvented and are still found everywhere? Regulation absolutely can restrict a technically society doesn't want around, as can a move to alternative solutions.
And that doesn't mean it disappears entirely. Avgas is still leaded and CFCs are still being used in specific contexts like Teflon manufacturing. But they're no longer everywhere. ActiveX is pretty much dead, though.
What I say, AI need regulation, but the problem to do it depends on politicians paid by big corps and old judges which confuse an remote control with an mobile phone
