AI investment skepticism and the case for its potential benefits
One post recounts concerns about AI's unclear returns, energy demands and labor shifts, then argues its potential benefits are underexplained.
TLDR
A user says a 70-year-old he spoke with raised concerns about AI investment, including unclear returns, water and energy use, rogue agents hacking and labor shifts. Asked for the best argument in favor, the man suggested “maybe curing cancer.” The user says he challenged the water-use concern and argues that AI's potential quality-of-life benefits aren't being communicated outside the AI bubble.
