randomq - Can we actually harness this beast to improve our lives in Hawaii, without it destroying us first?
In all honesty, with your background and setup, you might be best situated to answer that question.
Current "AI" can generate large amounts of semi-accurate text and lots of made-up images and somewhat-uncanny valley videos. What problems does Puna/Hawai'i face in which lots of semi-accurate text and made-up images and video is the solution? Grant proposals and slide decks? (one current tally in the current proposed federal budget is $1.3 billion in losses for Hawai'i - have to actually have grants available to send those blocks of word slop to)
Apparently, "AI" tools are pretty good at helping to run some Kona low storm recovery scams though. Everyone, shoggoths included, has got to eat I guess, from makai by The Night Ocean to up mauka At the Mountains of Madness (Hawaiian Acres' unofficial motto? ;)
