The existential threat isn’t Artificial Intelligence
It’s Natural Stupidity
Ask ChatGPT to write something in reverse character order, or upside down and you’ll see how much “intelligence” that thing actually has.
The problem isn’t that it can’t do that, that would be a huge improvement. It actually produces utter nonsense, like it had a stroke or something.
It can’t abstract anything, only repeat patterns it has seen millions of times.
Yet you can be sure there’ll be people who’ll try to force us to obey those things bc the AI is the “expert”
