I found this article on "AI criticism" (by @danilo ) quite interesting: https://redeem-tomorrow.com/the-average-ai-criticism-has-gotten-lazy-and-thats-dangerous . It lists the "lazy" arguments that people are making against AI, and then shows some other arguments that I also find more realistic and important.
It's a kinda long read though, and I think it's not an "easy read".
There's some (IMO quite good) discussion on this article at https://hachyderm.io/@danilo/111424444293856518 , with good arguments raised at e.g. https://chaos.social/@supaspoida@ruby.social/111426234176610473 .

  The average AI criticism has gotten lazy, and that's dangerous
  
  Most of the AI criticism you'll hear on any given digital street corner is lazy as hell. We have to up our game if we want a future worth living in.

  Perhaps I can now, finally, know peace. What they're calling #AI is inevitable because it's just computers, computing, and computers already exist and are everywhere. We cannot stop it, unless you have a plan to stop all computing, forever. Meanwhile, AI products are becoming more useful to people all the time. So, when it comes to critique of AI, we have to up our game if we want a future worth living in. https://redeem-tomorrow.com/the-average-ai-criticism-has-gotten-lazy-and-thats-dangerous

  @danilo@hachyderm.io it seems to me that the energy use during actual computation gets all the attention, but I think a lot about the mining and manufacturing required for all types of computing. To me crypto and now AI seem designed to create massive, cyclical demand for manufacturing new compute capacity, reproducing the logic of the oil economy on top of silicon. The fact that bitcoins are “created” via “mining” was a huge tell, even in 2013.

  @ollibaba @danilo yeah, I found their arguments cool headed and more useful in guiding action than low information, emotional or ideology driven echo-chambers.
  The current #LLM/AI phenomenon is very bad news because it points out how dazed and confused and incompetent society continues to be in internalizing the new digital reality.
  People will in due course apply all known and future algorithms to all data, with varying utility.
  The existential question is who does it, why and to whom.
