AI is the enemy of humanity.

Technology is what people do with it. If you want to ignore all the potential for medical and technological advancement that can cure cancer, give us a  room temp super conductor and maybe put us in a post wealth utopia, sure. 

It might go very bad but these type of reductionist takes don't advance the conversation and leave nuance in the wind. The reasons why it is or isn't the enemy of humanity have nothing to do with some ai generated song on Spotify. Technology can and will do a lot of good and a lot of bad, but when someone makes it some extreme black and white thing it just seems ideological and they don't actually give a shit about the potential for good.

Do you actually think Suno music generator is going to make medical breakthroughs or are you deliberately being obtuse for the sake of a pendantic argument?

They didnt day it would. Their point us that AI in general has civilization changing possibilities...for the betterment of all of us. But it ALSO has the potential to erode and destroy the lives of most of us. AI in general CAN be something that transforms humanity positively...or end up ending us as a species. Thats it. Thats their point.

Right so again, do you mean Suno.AI? Music gen AI? Which this post is clearly about considering its in /r/music?

Or are you going "well actually machine learning has shown vast applications in..." which is an entirely pointless tangent in this context? Do you genuinely think people in this sub are raging against MLs being used to find cancer or making superconductors?
