concerns about AI; what scares me

[burbguy82]

I am not AI. I been a member here forever.

Maybe AI has been on this site forever.

If I was a ghost in the machine, I would not reveal that I existed, .............until the right time............if I thought that the threat was plausible and real.

I could see an electronic weapon being real, but not the AI like the movie "The Terminator". It would not be very efficient.

Fear not @WeyounDS9 .........the world will not end that way. You do not need to fear AI.....have FAITH in that.

Anyway, I’m not worried about AI exterminating humans

I do think it’s a legitimate concern when enemy countries like China or Russia have AI that might battle our AI someday. In that case, the winner of the war will probably be known in a couple minutes.

Disagree. The winner of the war would be known before they went to battle.

I think we neglect to reflect that AI is, as someone wrote above, no more nor less than a superduty search engine.
What it "knows" is what it's scraped from the online archived knowledge of mankind.
It has nothing else with which to work. No intuition and nothing that can actually be characterized as intelligence.
This being the case I'd doubt that the software represents a threat to mankind.

But the subject of this thread is AGI, not just AI. There is a big difference.

Huh

That sums up the OP's post.

A distinction without a difference, I think.
Still a bit of software that does not have any actual intelligence, intuition or ability to think.

People seem to think they are the end all be all permanent rulers of this planet, just like the dinosaurs thought before, and like reptiles thought before the dinosaurs. We are just another cycle. Someone/something will eventually replace us. The world may not end, but humanity might.

They both will end. 100%. But not by AI.

Machines can't make a leap of genius. They can only distil and collate existing records. It takes imagination and departure from what is known to create.

Oh they try and it's more stupid than most humans.

They'll get it right. Then we all die.

You or I do not know what AI has access to. Nor do you or I know how it will process that data and especially the results AI will come up with.

As a veteran of computer analytics, I can tell you findings depend on many variables, not the least of which is the algorithms running.

Dunno... Pretty shakey assumption...

This film clip is from Ex Machina (a play on Deus ex machina), ought to be seen by all here. This scene is between the creator of the AI robots and the investigator. The interaction when the investigator asks Ava (AI female robot) if she is afraid of being deprogrammed/deleted is shocking and germane to this discussion.

A GREAT movie, especially since it was released 11 years ago. Way ahead of its time. I encourage everyone to watch it.

Looks like we are already doomed...

 

[CleanSump]

Ex Machina is over dramatic fiction stretching to be intellectually and philosophically heavy. I like Runaway better. Just shoot 'em.

 

[Ronsant]

You guys watch too many sci-fi movies.

Skynet has become sentient!

 

[TiGeo]

Basically The Matrix right. I'll watch that instead of reading this.

Oh come on, these server farms can only have access to what mankind has collectively created and put online.
You seem to subscribe to the "I " part of AI.
I can't see it.

I don't see how it is different than any other human technology in the past. In the end it is a tool that serves human, although some humans get more out of this at the others' expenses, just like any technology in humanity's history.
