Apart from the things you mentioned. Neural networks / machine learning models aren't actually intelligent. They basically spit out the most likely/generic patterns based on an input. That is why AI generated art looks so homogeneous. Now you can imagine what's going to happen to industries that are supposed to be making art, but are already trying to let that go in favour of higher margins.

Secondly, AI is an extremely blunt instrument. Basically the most brute force solution you can apply to a problem. It should only be applied to problems for which there is no better solution because the cost is just too high.

And now we have this extremely unhealthy business that is losing billions upon billions of dollars on a promise that is unattainable.

So my opinion. The current AI business needs to die and it needs to die quick because the long it takes, the bigger the damage will be. So I do what I must. Ignore this entire business and everything that is created that benefits it.

There are plenty of concerns, for instance:

AI requires massive data centers to run which are both environmentally damaging and using up resources. Electricity costs, drinking water, buying up all the RAM, buying up all the hard drives - These things are detrimental to the general public.

Owing to the unstable nature of the AI industry, one day you can use AI affordably, and at some later stage the AI company revises its pricing and suddenly everything is orders of magnitude greater costs.

Owing to the nature of AI code generation, it produces code quickly but that code can be flawed, with unintentional bugs and inefficiency within the design. A skilled developer is going to produce code slow and steady (compared to AI) but it will have been built with true thought applied to the objectives, and potentially bugs and efficiency concerns will be ironed out earlier. Code written by AI likely does not have good security designed into it.

Of particular concern to me is the fact that AI companies are profiling their users and collecting up all the queries that users are making. Potentially if you are using AI for corporate or private coding projects, the AI company gets access to your private code. There are generally massive privacy concerns signing into an online AI account to ask AI questions - All those questions get linked back to you as a user. [Local LLMs hosted on your own computer is the only privacy-respecting way to do it.]
