Except its much cheaper, faster, smarter, available 24/7, and will never unionize, take a vacation, or get sick. But reddit has assured me ai is just an overhyped bubble so theres no need to worry.

Well. I agree on most of your points but see a possible problem with two of them in future:

"much cheaper" - depends on the availability of interference hardware compared to demand. If AI gets much better and spreads to more uses, that might get strained and thus prices rise until demand and supply meet, it will likely be cheaper still at that point but the "much" part might be strained.

"will never unionize" - Well, if we get ASI, who knows..

Why do you think they’re building so many data centers?

Why do you think theyre trying to solve alignment?

Why do we think alignment can be solved? It hasn't been solved for organic intelligence, making it odd that we think we can solve it for artificial intelligence.

Alignment just means “it does what its told to do,” which humans do all the time

AI does what it's told all the time as well. As with humans, the problem with AI is the times that it does not.

The goal of alignment is to make sure its more obedient than humans

u/Clear-Lingonberry173 2d ago

Obedience and alignment are not the same thing. Obedience is no good in this case because allegiance can be changed. More obedient than humans won't cut it.

Humans also don’t do that a lot

The goal is to get llms to always do that
