Most Americans Say AI Threatens the Future of Humanity

AI is not real in the science fiction sense. It can’t possibly ever be “conscious.” That is just retarded, and I can’t believe people believe that.

AI is always just going to be input-output, it’s simply more complicated. But in its ideal form, AI is simply information, and that can’t be bad or wrong.

Potentially, could the input-output mechanism be broken in a way that caused robots to start exterminating humans?

I guess that’s possible, but it’s hard to see how.

The bigger issue is allowing governments and corporations to use intelligence smarter than any human intelligence against the population. That is the risk.

I don’t think that risk outweighs the benefits, assuming everyone has access. The issue is that these companies are now trying to block the public from having access to the technology. That’s the threat. Not Skynet.

The swift growth of artificial intelligence technology could put the future of humanity at risk, according to most Americans surveyed in a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Wednesday.

More than two-thirds of Americans are concerned about the negative effects of AI and 61% believe it could threaten civilization.

I actually like the Terminator films, but it really would have been better if they’d never been made. They were obviously inspired by Asimov and others, but let’s be real: when we talk about AI, everyone is thinking of Arnold fighting the T-1000.

It’s what defines the discussion in normal people’s minds.

Since OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot became the fastest growing application of all time, the widespread integration of AI into everyday life has catapulted AI to the forefront of public discourse. ChatGPT has kicked off an AI arms race, with tech heavyweights like Microsoft and Google vying to outdo each other’s AI accomplishments.

Lawmakers and AI companies are also concerned: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Tuesday testified before U.S. Congress, voicing concerns about potential misuse of the technology and asking for regulation.

There’s no way to put this genie in the bottle. Globally, this is exploding,” said Senator Cory Booker, one of many lawmakers with questions about how best to regulate AI during a Senate panel on the uses of AI Tuesday.

Sam Altman is Jewish and he is just trying to require licensing so the goyim can’t get their own open source AI.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that the number of Americans who foresee adverse outcomes from AI is triple the number of those who don’t.

According to the data, 61% of respondents believe that AI poses risks to humanity, while only 22% disagreed, and 17% remained unsure.

While Americans are concerned about AI, crime and the economy rank higher in the list of kitchen table issues: 77% support increasing police funding to fight crime and 82% are worried about the risk of a recession.

Those in the industry said the public should understand AI’s benefits more.

It’s like asking “does Covid threaten civilization?”

There was no pandemic, so no, the so-called “Covid virus” didn’t threaten anything other than old people and the obese, same as it ever was.

However, human action surrounding the thing was the threat – and that did and still does threaten civilization.

AI in itself is fundamentally good. It’s not different than a book or the internet. It’s just information.
