Afraid of AI?

[venomballistics]

Seems like any time AI is brought up lately, folks respond with concern and a bit of paranoia.
Some seems legit, however, very recently I ran into a work related problem that needs a solution.
Right now they are applying Chevette level solutions to a Ferrari level problem and if the zip ties don't hold the 600 surging horsepower, someone is coming for someone else's head.
So, I got a hair up my back side to ask Google's AI for whatever solutions might be on record elsewhere for this issue....
It turns out the equipment is too new to have a solution as it just graduated from lab mistress and hasn't even gone live yet.
It was then that I discovered another issue.
AI is a self breaching hackers wet dream.
With a single crumb of information, it gave up some unbelievably sensitive goods and an endless string of leads to get more.
We fear this .... Why?

Bad players will get a lot more traction out of AI than the good guys. It's about to change our world.

I have a bad feeling about this.

More bad than good.
The first thing man does with a newly-developed technological breakthrough is try to figure out how it can be used against his fellow man. AI is no different. The evil uses of AI are as infinite as the good uses.
If we don't adopt it now, our enemies will do us in using AI within 5 years.
If we do adopt it now, our own AI systems will do us in within 10 to 15 years.
The end result will be the same. Just a matter of time.
The supposedly smart people in the world who are pushing AI and are so thoroughly enamored of it that they are blinded to its future ability to control and eventually destroy what freedoms we have left. Frankly, I think most of them don't care.

Agree 1,000%
We humans will become slaves to it when it develops to the point that humans lose control and can't even turn it off.
Some forms of it have begun thinking for themselves and have developed computer languages that humans cannot understand so that different AI systems can communicate with each other privately.
In the near future the only way to stop an AI system will be to shut down entire power grids. As the technology develops a sense of self and self-preservation, we may not be able to override it ability to prevent it's own destruction without collapsing most of civilization to do it.
Isn't that uplifting?

I'm still trying to master Natural Intelligence.

I still think about the case where a law firm decided to have AI write a brief for them and submitted the brief to the court without anybody in the firm bothering to read it. The judge was not pleased with the citations to non-existent cases. The judge threw the book at the law firms that did this.
