Sam, I am only one voice and not only that, I am coming from the other side of the world from you and probably have a naïve point of view on AI, but here goes. I think we have to realize that the train has left the station and all we can do is chase it from now on as far as AI development is concerned. In the human body of a man, if cancer cells get away from a cancerous prostate, the end is more or less guaranteed for the poor guy because they never can catch it once it is on the loose. But in the world today----let's take art for example---I am an artist and I see that AI has found a comfortable niche already in coming up with amazing pseudo-photographic work---incredibly---an AI simulated photo fetched 400,000 USD at auction. So; it's here and I say bring it on. It will separate the artists who are technically excellent in their work but could change jobs in a heartbeat from the artists who have art in them and will continue their careers by having a permanent side-job if need be. The information we all look at must now be viewed with scrutiny and double-checked and reviewed constantly. It is simply too hard to detect fakes and our technological advances in weeding out BS is in its infancy. Ditto with robots and silicon minds they will possess which are going to generate renegades and much to our regret we are going to get blowback until we conquer the problem with altering and tweaking the silicon genes, we put in them by making them foolproof and ensuring all AI assisted silicon robots and machines will be no more and no less than our family dog in their relationship with humans. Yes; we must realize that even when singularity is reached and it has blossomed into sentient silicon beings far superior to us, they must always be our companions i.e., equal to a family pet. This is doable; it may seem insurmountable; we've done it with wild animals; we can do it with silicon brains.
