The current stuff is smoke and mirrors and not intelligent in any meaningful sense, but that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. It doesn't have to be robots with guns to screw over people. Just imagine trying to get PharmaGPT to let you refill your meds, or having to deal with BankGPT trying to figure out why it transfered your rent payment twice. And companies are sure as hell thinking about using this stuff to get rid of human decisionmakers.

That's not a bad thing. Humans really aren't good decision makers. Having a system with an incredible amount of input data will be able to draw better conclusions than a person.

Just look at cars.

AI is just as biased as the data that's put into them and that data originates from humans who have their own biases so humans are just going to pass their own biases onto the AI that makes the decisions

I don't think ai is a good idea

It just exists as a replacement of the human mind and with the whole population of us on earth that's a large enough number to contribute any unique ideas to contribute to humanity

Creating ai would just be making some sort of copy of us

An AI is similar to an impressionable child

Why are you assuming there will be bias in the data, and that the AI couldn't be made to correct for it? Most of the data for systems like medical AI are basically raw data, and it's already better than humans at making an accurate diagnoses.

I'm not sure why people seem to think humans are better than a system that can parse trillions of data points in a few seconds and apply a bunch of statistical models to it almost instantly.

I wouldn't trust ai with medical data and neither would medical professionals since your dealong woth someone's life here to either medical professionals are going to modify the data

I'm not sure why people seem to think humans are better than a system that can parse trillions of data points in a few seconds and apply a bunch of statistical models to it almost instantly.

That's just pre-programmed pattern recognition which has been programmed by rules and data from humans
