Artificial intelligence is growing and more and more people are finding this technology the answer to simple life saving techniques. I think we need to collectively start blowing the horn as to the dangers of what is possible with our new friend.
Outside of the masters of these solutions already being know enemies - there are many red flags to be said about adopting this technology.
We have witnessed the positives and negatives of life changes that technology brings. One openly bad cultural phenomenon we are witnessing relates to TikToc. The mass psychosis that a single Chinese app has had on our society is outstanding. But what could a mass scale AI adoption lead to?
Brainstorming the adoption of this is rather scary. AI such as ChatGPT knows more about you then you may realize. Already scammers are leveraging technology like this to generate audio outputs with only a few words that are captured from you on a phone call and then leveraging that to generate a script to a family member asking you to send them money etc based on some family emergency.
The dire warning needs to be said that we have some idea of an evil takeover orchestrated by AI based on movies like the terminator... but we think we are smarter then the tech? Said technology will already let you know where the closest McDonalds is to your location... it probably is tracking where you work... what industry you are in etc. Mapping your every move and your life.
As more and more companies and programmers adopt snippets of AI technology or even hand over their companies services to AI - the AI grows in power. It may soon be managing whole sectors of your everyday life. At first this may assist you in keeping your operations running, responding to interruptions, restarting services that go down etc. But as your dependence grows and your trust in said AI grows it soon becomes the gate keeper of the world.
Imagine it having become the backbone of many critical infrastructure services, water, transportation etc... and all of a sudden BIG tech now owns the world. It can nefariously shut down everything that sustains a nation.
We never saw how the Matrix was born in the movies... but people somehow were isolated into breading pods and harvested for their energy. Are we stepping into that world right now? When does AI start propagating nano bot technology and having individuals take a batch of vaccines.. or has it already happened?
Unfortunately, that won't work anymore. The machines are now listening and learning whether we want them to or not. The only option left is to put in the hard work of mastering, developing, and subduing the tech for our own benefit. Yes, the machines are inherently just stupid tools, but that doesn't make the technology any less dangerous in the wrong hands. It is a fool's dream to simply deny it in the hope that it will magically go away, because our enemies are most certainly using it against us as we speak.
Did you know the Amish have developed a semi-self-drivimg vehicle that runs on just grass and water?
