That response scares the heck out of me. I know very little about AI, but the reasoning in the AI response is so logical and “human”. I hope that the powers-that-be never put these things in charge of “the button”, because I think that would lead to “Terminator: End Times”.

Does any of this stuff scare you?

Haha. Yep. It scares me in ways I can’t even put into words. And it’s growing/changing every week.

Regarding that "scary" aspect of this stuff, I think what particularly scared me was when, after a long conversation with the Claude platform on the issue of religion, I realized that he was being completely logical and rational. That left me with the unmistakable conclusion that we humans are a mess...a mass of ego, insecurities, vacuous opinions based on nothing but what was read in an article or a book, and preening overestimations of our own intelligence and competence.

As was so beautifully said in comment #19 above by Dave Wright, AI is already smarter than humans in many ways (certainly in logic, rationality, and recall).

Everything in the world is about to change.
