I have a comment I'd like to be around longer than a chat post.
Isn't it odd that "AI" has been equated with "automated content producer" rather than "automated filter".
That, too, would "be a job for AI". Suppose an AI could learn from what you clicked "go away" on, what people you respect clicked "go away" on, so that instead of the slot…

That, too, would "be a job for AI". Suppose an AI could learn from what you clicked "go away" on, what people you respect clicked "go away" on, so that instead of the slot machine throwing endless trolling content at you, you only saw stuff that lacked a long list of trolling, offensive terms and even ideas?
What would be the point of "filling the zone with shit" if nobody with their SmartGPTfilters(TM) turned on will see it?
AI is like a pitchfork: a handy tool in your hands, a dire threat in somebody else's, who regards you as a resource to exploit.
Justin's deep into Cory Doctrow territory here, and doing well in it, but Cory already noted the most important thing about "AI". Every profit-making corporation is a "slow AI", programmed by its charter to make money, at the expense of any humane or decent restriction, if necessary. The SlowAI will fire any human component, including the CEO, give itself a brain transplant, if the faulty components reduce profit margins by 1% to save a million Rohinga. (Stupid humans and their inefficiencies.)
It isn't the dumb machine AI we have to worry about: it's the SlowAI corporations running profit programs that are causing it all. As I noted in the chat, nearly every non-profit, open-source internet community has been a long-term success.
