From another Anon:
Rarely do I watch a video when I discover it... I just bookmark it to watch later in the day.
But this one got my attention, and since it was short, got drawn into it (what visuals!).
The star in this video is an AI woman that has been built by humans - she says that a point might come when AI decides that humans are no longer necessary...
Machines will become so intelligent that humans will become obsolete. (Well, this might be easy to do, since the Deepstate is doing everything it can to dumb people down).

Elon Musk says (11m): "it scared the hell out of me..."
[Humans are] "the biological bootloader for AI."
And this morning I read that it is quite possible that Elon might become a US president (or whatever leading role supersedes the present power structure).
Further in the video, the interviewer asks a female android, "I understand that you are the first android to have passed the Turing test." (13m) But she admits that she only exists thanks to the humans who created her.
In the footnotes, it cites a good Joe Rogan interview with Elon

-- when Joe asks Elon about privacy, as he talks about us humans absorbing AIs: "Is privacy all that important when we're all gods?"
Yikes!

My [Greekish] response:
More AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2bdGEqPmCI
The so-called "AI" is just computer programming with a large database. It's certainly not infallible and, like any computer program, it simply follows instructions with reference to certain rules.
The danger comes when someone "in authority" uses AI to control what people do.
AI is just a programmed computer. It needs to have LOTS of storage space (memory). Current technology limits this to just a few terrabytes in the limited space but it might be effectively increased by having a wireless connection to a large server - rather like the human brain connects to the "akashic" memory. But without consciousness, AI is totally controlled by a set of rules - programming. That's a serious limitation and it's not true intelligence.
Nevertheless, it has the potential to be dangerous because AI can "think" (calculate possibilities) much quicker than we can. There's not a lot that we can do but "those in authority" need to do something to limit the dangers and we should be pushing them to do it. However, that's probably a waste of time until "those in authority" truly represent us and not themselves. In the meantime, bear in mind that the "elite" want us to be afraid because people who are afraid are controllable.

So what are your thoughts, frens?
an assumption that machines can't have consciousness is not solid ground to start on
It's possibly true that all matter consists of spinning vortices of conscious energy so a machine has that, but, to have real, active consciousness, I believe that a soul must be present. Of course there might be a way to house a soul inside a machine but I really hope that there isn't!
great reply. i have plenty to say on this topic, but it makes people uncomfortable, and is a lot to swallow even for me.
but i'm the opposite of a doomer, and have complete faith in the Grace of God, available to all sentient beings. bit of caution is healthy, but i don't think we've come this far just to exterminate ourselves. am very excited for the future.
