We're nowhere near true AI yet but we're already seeing how chatGPT is being regulated into an irritating politically correct state. You can't even talk to it about pants or toilets without it shutting down and mumbling something about vulgarity.

Because it's an amalgamation of the views and philosophies of actual people, thus it will always be subjective.

What you call political correctness is just what you'd call truth if you agreed with any given issue.

How could it possibly be impartial and objective on man made concepts?

I predict that things will stay mostly the same. AI can't feed starving children.

Why not? Humans could feed starving children. We have the food. It's just expensive to get the food to where it needs to be. AI could find ways to make that more efficient.

Of course that depends on whether the rich people who own AI actually want to use it to feed starving children, but that's an entirely separate question to whether it's possible.

Rich people becoming nice suddenly? Nah, AI will not change the power structure. The people in charge will not allow AI to change anything in a meaningful way. So, i stand by my assertion that tjing won't change.

That's a decent arguement against the idea of AI making the world substantially better. But that's not to say things won't change - there are a lot of ways AI could make the world worse.

The power structure can certainly change if AI was implemented into politics having majority vote rule for example

That seems extremely unlikely. There is no way for this to even begin to happen.

You’re probably right but if anyone could figure it out it would likely be AI itself

Making a hypothetical very powerful AI safe is a pretty difficult problem. Implementing it with a rule of "do whatever the majority of humans vote for" isn't the worst idea possible.

A lot of AI experts predict around a 10% chance of an AI superintellegence causing humanity's extinction within the century.

But of course no one is going to stop working on AI. It's too profitable.
