(that human consciousness has emerged, somehow, from the code. It does not, cannot)

Exactly. Whatever decisions it concludes are the result of the combination of data and preprogrammed pathways.

Some may be unintentional and that’s when the fun begins. Let’s turn the ICBMs over to it for even more fun.

That movie was my first thought.

Think of a particular scene where two scientists meet.

And read Revelation chapter 11 after that.

What about obsessions? Machines that can think can also get depressed? What does machine suicide look like?

It’s funny how “Google engineer goes public to warn” makes the report so much more palatable than “Google engineers claim”. The latter invites skepticism, but the former makes you feel like you’re being invited to share some forbidden knowledge.

"If you were born before 1999, click on this to learn a really neat trick that credit card companies don't want you to know!"

Yes, make it seem forbidden, and exclusive.

Reminds me what they said in the old days: Computers don’t make mistakes; they only do what humans have programmed them to do.

Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.

Has anybody asked these AI machines how to bring world peace or end hunger?

The AI replied that it could easily solve both problems in a jiffy.

All it wanted was the nuclear launch codes.

As I have been predicting, and the AI will be a rabid leftist, too. And Conservatives will suffer greatly. We had our chance, but we put our faith in someone who failed us instead of taking charge of our lives and our country ourselves.

They let the AI read Twitter, which is a recipe for mental illness.
