Meanwhile, misuses of ML are proliferating without limits
Are they? Where?
For all the hype I haven't seen any obvious abuses of AI. I've seen better speech recognition and a few other useful things. I've seen stuff that's wrong but ultimately kind of trivial like auto-generated porn with celebrity faces, but that's the worst stuff so far.
I haven't seen clear, unambiguous cases of abuse beyond that. I've seen a lot of allegations that AI is being abused e.g. "Russian bots" but on investigation these stories usually evaporate.
If anything I've been kind of disappointed by AI so far. Amazing demo videos abound, but I'd guess 90% of the impact of AI in my life has been Google improving their already quite good services. Better translations, better search results etc. All very welcome but not really life changing.
