Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "Scientists warn of AI collapse" video.

  1. AI is still early in it's development and is still somewhat stupid. It's what AI is increasingly used for worldwide, which i have concerns with. Existential concerns. AI is used for face recognition; excellent tool for totalitarian governments. AI is used for military applications; excellent for generals and for winning wars. AI is used in making propaganda. Good for swaying opinion by the CCP. Nothing good here, or in any way ethical which is much of AI research. AI is used in a world scenario which has some ethical rules (for rule of law based democracies anyway) but is seldom enforced, in any case, never enforced everywhere. Hence, like nuclear weapons, AI becomes the enemy of humanity. Worse, unlike nuclear weapons which are difficult and expensive to make, is not contained to the arsenals of governments. AI will be everywhere. AI helps the rich become even wealthier, but impoverishes everyone else. This is the best case scenario. The worst case? With increasing self-awareness, AI might decide to kill us all one day.
