it is the lack of accountability and punishment/judgement
for crimes that is actually THE most dangerous.
The threats are getting more sophisticated.
Hasn’t that been proven by the DemocRATS?
How about evil humans using “AI” as a psyop, cover, and tool for harm?
I was a financial services regulator 25 years ago. At a weekly meeting to discuss if any of our current examinations were worthy of an attorney, one lawyer offered an observation that Guy X should not be escalated because “it sounds like he was being stupid, not evil.” My response be came known as “’The _______ [my last name] Doctrine”.
If it was stupidity, we gotta get him out of the business. An evil guy will control themselves sometimes because they don’t want to get caught and keep on being evil. The stupid guy is going to hose everyone he runs into because he can’t help it... he’s stupid...”
The danger of AI is when humans put too much trust into AI produced information.
The decline of humanity is going to be on the back of loss of spirituality and purpose. It’s the meaning in our lives that drives us. Being on snapchat or instagram or tiktok does not give meaning to your life. And, doing that instead of exploring the world, reading, and thinking about things will lead to people being more ignorant - as you alluded to.
What if incompetent humans are the ones programming AI?
Trusting AI is about as retarded as trusting a google search.
Artificial intelligence will never replace natural stupidity.
I asked Grok the other day to list my state representatives and their party affiliation. There are only 7 of them. It got one wrong . It listed a previous rep who had been primaried out. If AI can’t answer a really simple question like that it’s basically useless. I challenged it and it said, oh yeah, you’re right. Sorry.
Probably not, but malicious humans absolutely are.
