Risks & Pain Points

AI Risks

The AI industry has never been shy about discussing the technology's potential for disaster, sadly stopping just short of actually, you know, slowing down for a minute.

Said risks include job displacement as a top concern, but also AI's potential for military use as seen in recent conflicts, and of course the worrying environmental impact of AI in a world already threatened by climate change.

Many commenters complained about being limited to selecting only three items. As one person put it: “It's kind of shocking how big this list of negative social impacts are when you put them all in one place.”

Pain Points

When it comes to issues with actually using AI, Hallucinations lead the pack.

What makes this issue uniquely frustrating is not just having to deal with incorrect results, but incorrect results confidently presented as correct, with the model having no awareness of its own potential for error.

Missing Features

Confirming the previous question's results, Truthfulness is the leading missing feature. In an age where we're growing increasingly skeptical of our fellow humans' ability to distinguish fact from fiction, it'd be nice if our AI at least wouldn't gaslight us as well.
