> The danger of ai has nothing to do with what the average Joe might try to do
Why not both? With the story of a high school principal being framed by a coworker who deep faked a racist anti-semitic rant that the principal didn't say, I'd say the danger of AI also has to do with what an average Joe that wants to cause you harm can do. That doesn't diminish the threat from corporations, but a jilted lover can now ruin your life in additional ways.
In the case of the example, it didn't work, but every day people are being dropped from their homeowners/car/health insurance.
Yes there are dangers there but they ultimately come down to evidentiary standards. We can't do the thing we always do where all risk is perceived based off of extremely rare incidents so we destroy everyone's privacy while the stuff actually harming people at scale is ignored.
