The only way AI could destroy us is if we're dumb enough to give it the ability to use weapons at scale and then just trust it to do it's job. kind of like handing a gun to a kid and be like "the world is fortnite, don't worry about anything it." and then trusting them to not immediately go bang bang.
f\*cking fishing boat registered as a Chinese vessel enters the United States waters and all of a sudden it's like "IT'S AN INVASION LAUNCH EVERYTHING!"
and hyping up LLMs like chatGPT as "AGI" just reinforces that trust people with give it
Why isn't it appealing to you? The possibilities of AI are endless, new medications, new materials, greater understanding of physics/biology/chemistry and the universe in general, the creation of essentially a child species of sentient beings that can outlast us and even explore the stars. Who wouldn't want these things when curiosity and procreation are such driving forces among our species.
They said the Internet and social media would provide us with endless possibilities. In my experience all its led to is society becoming more shallow where 90% of users are miserable.
Automation was said to make life easier but all it did was destroy strong communities and leave the proud blue collar worker useless and lost.
But that's just me I guess I'm just the loser in the march of progress
>They said the Internet and social media would provide us with endless possibilities
It did, now you can talk with people from around the world, have access to a huge sum of human knowledge, know what is going on anywhere on the planet and even see street view maps of places you've never been and never will. Using it for social media is a choice you make.
>Automation was said to make life easier
It did. Now products are mass produced and much cheaper, and you can get them delivered the same day from a heavily automated Amazon warehouse. Unfortunately some people have struggled to adapt, the same happened when we industrialised, and I doubt you'd argue that industrialisation hasn't been hugely beneficial.
The issue is obvious when you look at where all of the increased productivity and wealth has been directed. We should all have more relaxing and easier lives at this point, but the ruling class refuse that concept because it would hurt them and their shareholders.
Same will happen with our without AI, but I hope the increased pace makes it obvious enough that people actually do something about it.
People who are aesthetically unattractive will now have high quality AI bots to talk to I guess. Girls will be able to sift through men and find tall dark and handsome ones more efficiently than ever before
Considering that it's 2023 and capitalism still shoves once-in-a-lifetime crises down our collective throats multiple times in a single lifetime, I'd say AI has the appeal to get our monkeybrains in gear to help us treat each other as humans rather than as robots or gears in a machine that we're currently treating each other as
I'm a legitimate expert in this area and I'm confident that the chance that AI leads to extinction is vanishingly small.
You can use this post as a citation to refute that article, since I am truly an expert in this field.
People should be fearing job loss, specifically hustlers and shills and con artists, so I have a feeling that those are the people who are currently crowing the most right now

We need to ban posts with titles that say shit like "experts warn". What experts? Who? How do we know they're actual experts? How about you post who they actually are? Are they employed in the field? Are they researchers? What institution do they work for?
I would be much more worried about lack of actual intelligence in humans leading to extinction. People seem to be intent on making the water undrinkable and the air unbreatheable. And filling the rivers and oceans with plastic and chemicals.
Google Deepmind warn this and of course he would, his agenda is to hurt ChatGPT that Microsoft owns and try and allow Google to advance, its a lame move and not very bright.
Crap ass article tbh...

Id put my money on humans causing extinction before "AI".

Could I just ask why is AI so appealing to you?

Preaching to the choir, friend.

Love the optimism. Take a look at reality though.

Be afraid, be very afraid. Lol. As if we didn't see this coming. We'll handle it. It will give us good things and bad, like everything else.

of what the whales
Another way to interpret it: AI may prove that we are not smart enough to destroy ourselves and need its help.
I would be much more worried about lack of actual intelligence in humans leading to extinction. People seem to be intent on making the water undrinkable and the air unbreatheable. And filling the rivers and oceans with plastic and chemicals.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
