Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto on Monday about the possibilities of "personal superintelligence" systems being built by Meta AI. The essay is the most detailed version of ideas he has previously shared in the Wall Street Journal and on earnings calls, according to TechCrunch.
TechCrunch argues the essay demonstrates why the public is uneasy about AI. It notes that Facebook and Zuckerberg are unpopular with the U.S. public, citing a survey showing 64% of Americans believe social media has harmed democracy, and a court fining the company $567 million for being harmful to children.
The article criticises Zuckerberg's examples, such as AI tutors and superintelligent lawyers, as out of touch with real-world AI use. It says AI tools are often used in education to avoid learning, and that legal AI could add complexity or encourage vexatious litigation.
