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

That’s like saying you’re struggling to see even a single upside to explosives.

I can genuinely see more upsides to explosives.

Text generation, general advice, barebones stuff, easier way to create art, easier way to create, finding patterns and detecting things

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

We leave critical things to humans all the time. We're just machines with a shitload more failure points. And here is how it designs and tests multiple medications at once. I don't think that article even touches on protein folding, which is another big one.

I understand leaving critical things to predictable machines but very critical things like counseling (preventing people from things like suicide) and nuclear warring (which should already have experienced commanders) should not be left to unpredictable machines.
