I'm also concerned about the powers that be trying to force AI to do things it can't actually accomplish in spite of the fact that human labour is objectively the only real option. It doesn't matter that it can't actually do the job, it matters that they spent money on it and will keep hammering at it until reality catches up with them and hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people get hurt when the world burns because they won't stop chasing sunk costs. The hubris at the top of a lot of companies is thick enough to cause real suffering for a lot of people.
Yeah, that's another big one I didn't think of.
I'm also concerned about AI being used to generate non-consentual nude/sexual images of real people, and of minors.
