I think the problems with AI will be more subtle than that, at least to begin with. Although this year it suddenly hasn't felt so subtle. It's leaching into everything. Recently I came across a video where a professor was teaching people how to use AI to cheat (let's call it what it is), by using AI 'tools' to write academic literature reviews. You can use it to paraphrase the abstract (no need to actually read the paper), put it into your 'own' writing style, and have ChatGPT proof read it for you. And every other advert I get on Youtube just now is for Grammarly. Writing academic papers is now 'effortless', apparently. No effort required. When I was doing my degree I put my blood, sweat and tears into it from day one, and earned a 1st through sheer bloody-minded determination. And then there were the last-minute students, who would throw something together on the day before it was due. Will that kind of 'effort' now be able to compete with actual effort, and writing and research skills that have been developed through hard work? If so then higher education has already been seriously devalued. And then of course then there's the problem of algorithms. If people don't develop the skills, or won't put the effort into finding and critically evaluating the papers they're reviewing, only what AI presents them with, then the papers that appear first will be referenced more and more often, so the algorithm will favour those papers. That's a very serious problem.
Then there's the impact it's having on the creative industries - music, art, literature etc. Artists are shouting that their work is being used to train AI without their consent, allowing people with zero artistic talent to push them out of their own industries. Are people really ok with the prospect of such a bland, dumbed-down world?
Oh, and I read the other day that the energy-usage of AI systems vs. 'traditional' non-AI computing are estimated to be 30x higher, equivalent to the current energy needs of Japan. So all the virtuous 'green-speaking' corporations who are pushing AI with the other hand can, frankly, shove it.
