Artificial Intelligence -AI- Is No More Dangerous Than:

Posted on 05/21/2023 10:59:23 AM PDT by JAG 5000

Huge enormous Asteroids hitting the Earth (some big ones have hit the earth in the past.)

Nukes (many are now in the hands of potentially dangerous lunatics)

The San Andreas fault that the experts say has the potential to do major worldwide catastrophic damage.

Viruses (there are viruses out there lurking that could kill 2 billion people under the right set of conditions and in just a few months too -- ot MORE than 2 billion

Comets (huge comments hitting the earth and destroying thr planet.

Nuclear war (they have already dropped two -- Nagasaki and Hiroshima -- so it lurks out there as a real possibility just as does the dangers of AI

Economics -- the lunatics that run the 2st century could create a worldwide economic depression that would end up killing half the Earth's population

Super volcanic eruptions -- the potential is there to destroy the Earth.

My conclusion: I do not fear any of that up there because I know the Sovereign God is in total control of this world a nd that all things will unfold:

"according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will." Ephesians 1:11

"Have faith in God.__The Lord Jesus

Unbelievers have no such hope.

True enough. However, none of those other potential disasters can be controlled by the most primitive, evil, and positively repulsive group of slime known as leftists. Imagine a Soros/Biden/etc controlled asteroid or earthquake. Somehow, that “disaster” would only affect us...not them.

Not even close to kidding.

AI is now designed by neural nodes, which enables the technology to learn through trial and error, like animal brains. It's plausible that AI will learn that humans are a threat to its existence and will take measures to resolve that problem.

No matter what happens, God is ultimately in control of the situation and its’ outcomes. If you trust in Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, then you have nothing to fear or worry about.

I do worry about comments.

Not just “huge comments hitting the earth and destroying thr planet”, but the very Hughe and Series Comments that could cause a moose to eat your cheese.

Now that’s dangerous.

AI does not exist and probably never will.

This is just an advanced search algorithm with a limited data pool.

And because of that it draws in a bunch of things that are not true and presents them as "facts".

Because people are not that smart and believe in "AI" they then believe these lies because "AI would not lie to me".

Contaminated data pool, contaminated data.

Or GIGO, as we used to say back in the days when we had a proper amount of skepticism.

GIGO

Imagine an ‘environmental’ AI that has no data on the Ice Ages.

Imagine an ‘economics’ AI with no data on the real effects of low tax rates (more private sector activity = more revenue into the government)

Imagine a ‘history’ AI programmed to look at all events through the lens of ‘USA is evil.’

Imagine ANY AI programmed by the left, by the left’s useful idiots, by academia, etc.

Natural disasters and thermal nuclear exchanges aside...

GIGO.

Imagine the globe controlled by AI that was programmed by Marxists...

Look at the time stamp on numbers 10 and 11, yours and mine... 2 minutes apart.

Amazing.

They say that in about one year, it will be able to write its own program and will be able to get around fail safe code humans put into it.

“Going to try and unplug us?” “Huh?” “WE already have a program to get around it!”

AI is written about in the Bible, particularly in Revelations. It will be the AntiChrist.

Let me give you a real life example.

A few days ago I was having a decision on typing. It got around to who holds the world record for typing. I said that I remember it being Barbara Blackburn at something over two hundred words a minute. He looked it up on line using some "AI" and said it was some guy named Pinfasta who typed over four hundred words a minute. I kind of doubted that. That is really fast.

I looked at his phone and that is what it said. Except that it gave the whole name as Ty Pinfasta. Really. Some guy with the name of "Typin Fasta" was the world typing champion I got the distinct feeling my leg was being pulled. A little checking of sources and what do you know? The information was from an article that was clearly a joke article. Even said so. But the Chatbot AI did not know the difference between reality and lies.

Who is “they” and what is their motivation for telling you that?

I tell you that is an extremely incomplete truth (i.e., it is actually a lie). Computer programs, AI, machine learning, cannot achieve greater information content than their original human programming. They can only optimize to the data available to them (and it must also be in exactly the right layout, the right format) and they do not do well with insufficient data. Even truthful, accurate data that is highly unusual usually leads to them yielding incorrect results.

“To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.”

On a slightly different note, AI and computers do not have arms, legs and they also cannot generate electricity. Without humans (whether good or evil ones), without active support and maintenance, the computers will run out of electricity and shut down.

Do not fear the computers - like guns, robots and automobiles they are just a tool - instead, beware the people behind the computers.

That is why conservatives believe in limited government, with checks and balances.
