  1. a lot of the people creating ai are mentally unstable people, and the ai are reflective of their personality

  2. so google is losing this tech race and they want their competitors to slow down so they can catch up

  3. Ummmm, so not just a “bad outcome,” but a 10% chance (same as a plane crash) of FULL HUMAN EXTINCTION?

  4. The best thing a sentient AI could do for humanity is to prevent us from killing each other, not by force, but by disrupting supply chains, communications, and financial transactions that enable the military machines throughout the world.

  5. I think we should go definitely keep creating it. If we don’t do it then China will. The toothpaste is out of the tube. I don’t think Ai will destroy humans. I think we watch to much science fiction 😂. Chat GPT gets things wrong all the time and so it’s not All knowing super computer. The Ai we have is very elementary. I don’t fear Ai I fear evil people who will use it.

  6. Can we get this thing to help law enforcement track down criminals by piecing together digital traces?

  7. Thankfully, Tesla's promise that their autopilot was safe to put on the road came true, and there have not been any deaths as a result of beta testing potentially deadly technologies without non-Tesla driver's consent. It's not as if these tech workers would prioritize the value of their companies stock over the safety of society. It's not like Tesla spent 3/4 of a BILLION dollars lobbying our politicians in 2022 alone to usurp the common voters interests in the direction of their country. They lobbied in order to educate our leaders on how best to serve our interests!
    Or…

  8. Think about it…a computer thinks logically not emotionally. So when AI see that we are in perpetual wars, we are harming the environment, we rage against one another because of politics/race/gender/religion…why wouldn't AI destroy whatever is destroying the world.

  9. “…your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” Fact.

  10. I guess we all forgot what happen in the movie Terminator 3 when Skynet launched all of the nukes.

  11. AI never ages so , get ready for the retirnment age to reach 1,000

  12. Artificial intelligence will end the world. This is nothing to be excited about.

  13. How do I get a cyberstalker off my computer

  14. They call them" Dumbphones " cause when Gen Y & Gen Z get ahold of a phone without Google they turn " Dumb " and call it "Dumb"

  15. Stealing our information without knowing how much

  16. I don't think people full understand how AI is going to change the world job market. Basically, if you job function can be represented by a flowchart…..your job or your industry is at risk for AI conversion.

  17. I wish they would give examples of what could go wrong. That people won't be able to tell what is real and what is faked, is the only example they give. I'm sure there are dangers, what might those dangers be? Will they make an AI that can hypnotize people? Will AI "friends" fullfill people so much that they don't form human-to-human relationships anymore?

  18. Imagine how it will be when something exists that is many times smarter than you and can think 100x faster than you. Think about it seriously, realistically and creatively, and try not to be biased about it.

  19. How can I tell if they are not fear mongering? Maybe show an expert with a different viewpoint?

  20. I think the biggest mistake humans have ever made is capitalism

  21. Next on the Menu: American Human Habitat Loss, Managed Retreat, Planetary Hospice- 🌊 AI is just one more thing on the Planetary house of cards. ☄️♾️🟧♾️☄️

  22. There is a perspective that is being ignored: A.I. does not create art: it cannot. It IS THE ART being created. It can only reference and recombine. It cannot create without human hands and spirit. Art does not create. It is created by humans.

  23. humans are making themselves extinct with due hast.

  24. Lessons learned from the past, technology, and innovation wait for no one. What scares me is other countries. We can try to put a leash on A.I., all we want, but other countries won't. When it comes down to the bottom line l, profits always win.

  25. In game theory, this seems to be game of chicken.

  26. The Universe may have a propensity for intelligence, but I doubt that it has a preference for biological intelligence over artificial intelligence. From the example of the horrible things that humans do to each other, we haven't made a case for the continuance of our species. We are nasty creatures.

  27. This is terrifying. Stephan Hawking warned us along time ago about the very real possibility AI will destroy humankind. I believe him.

  28. The first profitable application of AI should be s3x cyborgs, google and other are focus on petty office automation things

  29. All Ai should have a red external power switch just the same way we break a thin glass and pull down on the fire alarm and maybe shoot it from a distance

  30. good I don’t want people to have deferent pay 1:31

  31. There is a 10% chance that watching NBC, will be the worst mistake you have ever made. Lester Holt. 🎬
