"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." AI is taking away any reason for us as humanity to be creative. When AI can do all the art, writing, learning, and creating, what are we left to do? Consume, work, chores. What have we learned about consuming too much media? It makes you depressed. There is a scientific correlation between people who spend too much time consuming content and their mental health. AI IS making this a MUCH bigger problem. We are losing what makes us human. We are becoming mindless body suits. We need to be creative, learn, struggle to learn, and create to be human. AI is taking that away from us.

The rise of Ai in everything from writing, creation, art and Advertisement to now pictures and videos that are unmistakable from real life..is a genuine threat to human authenticity and the sanctity of creation. When videos generated of people are indistinguishable from real life what will become of justice, what will happen to sexual assault victims? What content will be produced? What will happen to art when it is made by robots and not human hands, what will happen to our creativity and our connection? I worry for future generations, and I deeply worry for everyone, our freedom and our ability. It needs to be regulated, options for it in searches and creation need to be given so it can be removed. We have a right to not have AI created content and assistance in our lives.

There has been and ought to be much more said about the risks posed by an uncontrolled super intelligence. One that can pretend to share our best interests only to strike when it is finally given the control it needs. We NEED to research alignment before we move forward. But even if we are able to create a “good” ASI, I don’t want it to be made. Up until now, our society has been built step-by-step by innovative humans. We created the printing press, we harnessed electricity, we designed smart phones. Despite how it may seem, these advancements were not made by one person at one moment in time. Steps also came in the form of adoption, public discussion, and finding new uses for old technologies. Everyone plays some role in this process. Even today, humans are still working together to push society ahead by creating amazing new tech and finding its place in our society. The current AIs are a part of this process too. With the introduction of an ASI however, this process is no longer in human hands. Instead, the ASI makes all the innovations. It comes up with the best uses for the technologies it creates. It anticipates any creative idea a human could have. We would not celebrate any humans for making truly groundbreaking discoveries or inventions or ideas or media because one ASI would do that better than any and all humans could working together. That is not the future I want. I want, as a species, to intentionally delay our development of ASI so that groundbreaking advancements can continue to be made by humans. I want us to travel the stars using technology that we made through trial and error, not some baby-proofed version by an ASI that’s already figured it all out.
