People around the world have interestingly divergent opinions on AI - but most agree that they expect it to cause more job loss than growth:

this is, so we're clear, the kind of stuff unrealistic AI doomsday scenarios are intended to overshadow in the press

half-cooked automation layered onto already very broken systems in a country too corrupt to have working regulators

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

I was indeed trying my best to be generous! But there was a fair amount of half-arsed adversarial thinking that was game-theory _inflected_ about How The Machine Would Break Out etc, which more or less assumed that AI would be far better capable of being rational than humans.
