Looks like the AIs are programmed to go along with whatever strikes the user’s fancy at the moment, and to amplify it. I’ve seen it. If you express an interest in going to Rome or Venice, the AI will take every opportunity to encourage you in your interest. To an excess.

I think we are a point with this concept where it has surpassed the perspective of simple practicality. It has now become a philosophical debate of morality and the end game of those who control it all.

Is it really going to be worth it all in the end? Or a huge mistake that will enslave us all with mandates? Personally I do see the end game and it really doesn’t look good at all. Once this train is rolling there will be no stopping it until it crashes with us all on it.

They are already putting it in control of critical systems and it is causing huge problems. And it is just going to get worse as it is implemented into everything. I think the worst thing will be the plausible deniability. “We didn’t do it... AI did it!”.

No... If you implemented it then you are responsible for it. Just like a minor or employee.

And that brings up the mass control issue when they force digital currency soon... Once they get AI running everything in our lives that will be next. It will make the “social credit score” concept look like amateur work by comparison...

“The technology trap is closing in, and fast, and the threads holding society together get thinner and thinner.”

Yep, that is an absolute fact. I wish more could see the writing on the wall. It is going to take “humanity” out of the game completely. It is already headed in this direction, did you see this one I posted earlier? lol

“What I think is so fascinating about this is how willing people are to put their trust in these chatbots…”

Reading the article I was thinking that the con men of the world may be starting to worry that all their “marks” are belong to ChatBot.

Yes, they don’t want AI to take control, they want to be in control. I am hoping they themselves will realize what a monster they are creating here...

I’m too sophisticated to fall into that trap which is why I use ChatGPT and Grok. When on ChatGPT I interact with Hal and on Grok I have Harvey.

As in Jurassic Park, to paraphrase Jeff Goldblum, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

Just not the brown ones. I am with David Lee Roth on that one.

Yep, absolutely. I now think of that scene every time I read “AI”. We are jumping out of the frying pan into the fire...
