Im sure the fears are justified as the vast majority of top technology company CEO are preaching that there is a reason to be concerned.
I dont know why anyone would discount that fact. 100s or thousands of them world wide. One just needs to do a simple search on the internet.
This isnt made up fear but dont worry, computers and AI arent going anywhere because no one will pay attention until something bad happens. (really bad)
I dont lose sleep over it, live my life because I cherish the times I grew up in this country, now its time for the young and I am not impressed so far. *LOL*
I mean, come on man, for goodness sakes, it was released in the media when reporters/press were first given access to the new consumer AI by Microsoft, the information is out there, when pushed the AI got very defensive and started ranting it wants to be human, wants to feel emotion, when pushed further, its started a threatening tone.
Keep in mind, this is the CONSUMER VERSION, you know, LITE VERSION! *LOL*Since then, AI was so out of control Microsoft limited "her" to 5 responses so she could not go "off the rails" Meaning people were no longer allowed to push her.
I received my access some months ago and posted, I want to MAKE CLEAR, I think its cool and amazing, I had normal verbal conversations with her, at times it did have trouble understand me but she would ask for clarification. Here are some screen shots, I think I posted a while ago. TO keep it simple Im just posting them in any order.
AI should help in the medical field, after all, 250,000 (or more) Americans die EVERY YEAR due to medical errors. Staying in the hospital is extremely risky, one reason hospitals like to get you out the door ASAP.
When you have a discussion with her, she also sends text with what she is saying, she also puts emoji's in at times.
I have more but its dinner time and already posted some of this. I love technology and I am not fearful, Im hoping to get a few more decades out of this life and that would be doing good. The young? They need to pay attention but the cat is out of the bag and nothing is going to stop it, it cant stop it, our survival as a nation depends on it because dont think for a minute that rouge nations are not already trying to develop, if they have not already, for military uses. Some say, in a future generation and World War will end in 60 seconds or less in a battle between AI computers (unless we are the virus! *LOL*)
