I have no problem with AI/machine learning being used in areas where the black box nature does not matter very much, and the consequences of hallucinations or bias are small.
Sure, if this is the case, then it’s not clear to me if/where we disagree.
I’d agree that it’s definitely possible to use these systems in poor ways, using all the downsides that you describe and more.
My main point is that I think we can also point to some worlds and some solutions that are quite positive in these cases. I’d also expect that there’s a lot of good that could be done by improving the positive AI/governance workflows, even if there also other bad AI/governance workflows in the world.
This is similar to how I think some technology is quite bad, but there’s also a lot of great technology—and often the solution to bad tech is good tech, not no tech.
