Is Artificial Intelligence a threat to humanity ?

[jalimon]

Cloud your futuristic vision scares me. But I know you and know deep down you are a very intelligent dude. Which is scaring me even more now

The problem with human is that it's easier to be a bad person then a good person. So humanity will not be able to stop AI to take over us. Sadly.

What is independent thought? How you define it? :bounce:

If you want a beer and go get it out of the fridge, that is indepentant thought. If a cat sees a windoe blind cord and plays with it, that is independent thought. A robot at a car manufacturer can only do assembly and welding, but if you give it too much AI and it defends itself and kills someone then that is also independent thought.

But Elon is indeed leading a group against AI. He is shit scared by AI's possibility of destruction.

And he is also making the self-driving car and is a giant asshole. I went for a joke, I missed.

To answer the original question "Is AI a threat to humanity", I would say we should be carefull but I am pretty optimistic. On an other side, stupidity or ignorance "à la Trump" is a real threat to humanity.

Steve Jobs was the king of the ass hole. He was brilliant tho.

^^^^^^^^^ Up 2.
If you are worried about the average IQ dropping check out the difference from before and after with the mass migration into Europe, dumbed down for sure.

@jailmon - Jobs was an asshole. This is true.

Two brilliant guys who are not assholes but are worried about AI`s possible dominance over humanity are Gates and Hawkins

I think we have other more pressing worries than AI taking over our lives in a probably distant future, in the short term the cia, military intelligence and other well known agencies say the greatest threat to mankind is all the crap we are presently doing to destroy our way of life, as already discussed to ´ad nauseum’.

 

[cloudsurf]

Probably the greatest short term threat to mankind is social media and all the fake news going around.

I wouldn’t be surprised
