[Elecraft] The future of AI

[David Gilbert]

"It’s not taking over, we’ve invited it."


That's already happening too.  I recently saw the results of a poll that 
said roughly 30% ... of those polled ... believe that the AI Chatbots 
are an appropriate partner for a relationship, and some take that as far 
as the relationship being romantic.  I don't think it is too far away 
that somebody tries to build a religion around AI, and in fact the 
series "Mrs. Davis" (which is actually a really fun show to watch ... 
streaming on Peacock) already uses that as its major premise.

I'm a big supporter of AI, but the problem with AI is humans, not AI 
itself ... at least not so far since AI is yet to become sentient. By 
the way, my own "Turing" criteria for when AI becomes sentient to the 
level of humans is when it intentionally causes harm on its own just 
because it can.
