The Spin
Narrative A
As AI develops rapidly it's reasonable for people to fear for their jobs or, even worse, that AI will simply take over the world. In reality, AI is nowhere near reaching the complex capabilities or experiences of humans. Another cause for relief is that AI developers and regulators are building safeguards alongside these technological advancements, which means humans are marching with, not behind these chatbots.
Narrative B
While AI may not replace humans any time soon, these so-called digital assistants will be used to monitor and monetize us at a level never before seen. Sam Altman has continuously warned the world of the potential dangers of his technology while simultaneously advancing profit-driven product releases. Companies like OpenAI want to take data harvesting to the next level by inserting their bots into our phones and extracting every private detail about us.
