Is AI improving quality of life?

Every profile I open on X is building on AI. Has some company with 'ai' on it.

Is this the biggest free market experiment? On average (over time and geographies) is this leading to better quality of life?

There are various factors which can define success, but overall it should be quality of life, which itself includes wealth, health, peace, etc.

If I can ask everyone a simple question:

"Has AI improved your quality of life?"

50-50 -> we are still figuring it out, too early to be sure Yes -> technology with laisez faire is a win, humanity as a whole can be trusted to do good for itself No -> We cannot be trusted with unregulated tech

Maybe this is the biggest experiment after electricity which I think was in the Yes bucket.

Ask this to yourself, to people around you to understand where are we heading.

Agreed, AI is useful but definitely not the way its being handled right now. Its bloated, inefficient, and overused like websites were before the dot-com crash
