Could also put up:

  • Massive collections of people are exploited in order to train various AI systems.
  • Machine learning apps that create text or images from prompts are supposed to be supplementary but businesses are actively trying to replace their workers with this software.
  • Machine learning image generation currently has diminishing returns for training as we pump exponentially more content into them.
  • Machine learning text and image generated content self-poisons their generater's sample pool, greatly diminishing the ability for these systems to learn from real world content.

There's actually a much longer list if we expand to talking about other AI systems, like the robot systems we're currently training to use in automatic warfare. There's also the angle of these image and text generation systems being used for political manipulation and scams. There's alot of terrible problems created from this tech.
