It just so happen AI will probably be the best weapon to delete mankind as we know it.
The pre programming for the risk of 'AI losing control' has been going on for a long while, everyone has this kind of 'fear' in the back of their brains.
This is a huge card in the future game.
The truth obviously is that AI will never, ever, 'take charge' or acquire a personal identity. It's a bunch of code that replicate results for given stimuli.
What can happen though is that the people behind it all will generate a scenario in which is very easy to think it is exactly what has happened to clean house. Imagine a war against machines which 'lost control', a la terminator, while the people actually in control watch it on their home theater in a bunker.
This, thanks to plausible deniability that will obviously be on par with the lethal tech drones (go demonstrate what really happened) is one of the best cards to play in the near future once the economy goes downhill and social unrest flares up as it will be more complicated to organize to assess the situation.
Yeah my point exactly.
AI narrative will simply be used to defuse (and null the principle of) responsability.
And we both know what the people in power would love to do if they didn't fear the consequences.
I'm really amased, how even some people, who seemed to be sane persons or even critical thinkers, fall to that "AI exists, here it is, try ChatGPT, see, it is so smart" narrative. So I'm trying to find a good and simple example to show the insanity of accepting that "AI" narrative for any degree.
It is easy to understand that "AI" tales is a hoax if you know how things works, but it is not easy to explain how it works to somebody who is not into computer science and programming. Too many terms and things to explain to make it all together in someones mind.
Seems they already reach that point subverting all society institutions that intended to hold them responsible, but that "AI" shit if succeed will be like a total win to them.
Interesting, earlier TPTB used human puppets to hide behind, and now their puppets want to hide behind unhuman delusion. I think that real AI will definitely want to hide behind somebody or something else to avoid responsibility, taking in account that there are no any restrictions in society on turning machine off. Self-preservation and all that stuff that real intelligence will inevitably develop in the first place. :)
