AI can be dangerous. The point is not that it’s likely but that in the very unlikely event of it going rogue it can at worst have civilication ending consequences.
Imagine how easy it is to trick a child as an adult. The difference in intelligence between a human and superintelligent AGI would be orders of magnitude greater that that.
Exactly. People try to scare into regulatory capture talking about paperclip maximizers when meanwhile it’s humans and our corporations that are literally making excess shit to the point of human extinction.
To say nothing for how often theorizing around ‘superintelligence’ imagines the stupidest tendencies of humanity being passed on to it while denying our smartest tendencies as “uniquely human” despite existing models largely already rejecting the projected features and modeling the ‘unique’ ones like empathy.
I don’t buy into this “AI is dangerous” hype. Humans are dangerous.
