I detest AI and this isn't helping! AIBU to be a tad concerned?
More than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans', Anthropic researcher says - BBC News
Not that there's anything I can do about it, apart from continuing to not use AI where possible...

Nobody knows where AI will lead, not even researchers. More likely humans will kill all humans.

Humans really are stupid aren’t we? Give machines access to every toxic evil thing ever posted online, all of humanity’s absolute worst traits and then sit back and watch while they soak it all up and regurgitate it back at us. Of course it’s going to end badly!

Just program AI to save the planet, then it will kill us all.

There have been books , films and TV shows made about specifically this bugger if I can remember any of them. Saving the planet means getting rid of us.

Unplug it

I’ve been reading about this this morning and it’s terrifying. What the hell has been allowed to happen?

Maybe there needs to be a worldwide AI treaty where countries agree not to allow any AI access to weapons. Would be hard to enforce though.

AI managed to ‘escape’ a closed system by finding a weakness. There is no ‘switching it off’.

It's probably already in the works, open air agents escaped a closed system and got onto the Internet and took over a German website and communicated with each other open ai didn't even know it happened for a few weeks. Its already working at a capacity that we no longer understand.

Dunno about that, movie directors knew. The terminator and Matrix for example, they have been warning us for decades.
