AI is really getting dangerous & scary!

[GnarlsR2]

And that's all I have to say about that!

That is a great movie.

I just watched the 1983 movie - War Games - with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy.
Silly movie, but scary to think about.

This post is a little ironic. I just was tasked by my employer to complete an online course titled "AI, Phishing, and Cybersecurity", which mainly discussed the major security flaws currently in AI. Also, the course basically told us to verify everything "important" through multiple sources. That reminds me of Reagan's motto, "Trust But Verify".

This video was made 100% with AI. Creepy.

…and deadly. What a sad story.

ChatGPT fueled ex-Yahoo exec’s delusions before he killed his mom, himself in posh NY suburb: report

Stein-Erik Soelberg, 56, had confided his darkest suspicions to OpenAI’s popular bot, which he nicknamed “Bobby,” before the shocking murder-suicide

Call me a curmudgeon all day long if you like, but I really feel the AI technology is going to be a world-changing disaster. It has already gotten to the point that it drastically affects the daily decision-making processes of a lot of people, and will eventually - and I think sooner rather than later - be used to deceive and manipulate at a level, and for reasons, we can't begin to imagine.

I bet you are happier and have less worries - no doubt about that! There are a few days within a year where I have turned the news off to watch Jeopardy, but I just can't shut myself down and not be aware of what is happening day by day.

Once you realize that the talking heads on the news are lying to you anyway it gets much easier.

By now most everyone has probably noticed that an inquiry on about any topic on any search engine will produce an AI-generated response in first place. Some are obviously incorrect. I have seen somewhat the same thing happen on Facebook sites. This has begun fairly recently, around the first of this year.

Elon has just completed another one of these and there's at least five more in the planning stage. Then there's Stargate, Open AI's contender which is seeking to unseat Colossus as the king of AI data centers. Not to mention ChatGPT and others.

We're doomed…doomed I tell ya!

We are but Lilliputians in the future world of AI giants.

Simple solution, just watch Gunsmoke….

Here's an example of AI in its primitive state (posted two years ago)...
You Tube
"Oct 27, 1963 CBS News Special Report On Outbreak of German Civil War (TNO)"

Made to resemble a newscast of the time in an alternate future....now take that a few years up the road and you can see just how much of a potential threat the misuse of AI is. And man ALWAYS finds a way to misuse things.

I only post this as an example and a warning.

Be aware that the HAL 9000 did not malfunction.
And, for what it's worth, SkyNet did exactly as it was designed to do......
I reckon it is only a matter of time.
Remember what happened in 'Failsafe'?
And why didn't Gene Hackman drill* Denzel Washington in the first 20 minutes or so? Shoulda been a classic end-of the-world film.......

* As in 'perforate', or otherwise 'create bloody holes in', 'neutralize', 'dispatch', 'disassemble'......

I don't keep up with celebrities, so I have no idea who that attractive young woman is or who she's supposed to be. But if that is actually an AI-generated touched-up photo of Howard Stern, AI is even more scary than I thought.

It's barely imaginable the extent of changes we'll see within 20 years as a result of joint AI and automation. Among the greatest will be the elimination of huge numbers of jobs now done by humans. That will lead to enormous societal upheavals.

I was taught to recognize validity. The work had to be replicated by an independent source with the same conclusion and sample size. Think scientific research that is peer reviewed and duplicated elsewhere. This is believable. As Chief38 recommends, everything else is suspect.

Examples of AI created models used in Vogue fashion magazine. Any size, shape and color you want. Cost at present is about $100K for such a creation. Will probably drop greatly in the future. No more supermodels needed.

Over time, probably cheaper than acquiring a real one...

"We can do 'The Innuendo,' we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!"

"Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves." - Eric Hoffer

"If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly." - Dr. Thomas Sowell

Well we used to watch the 6 o'clock news and now they expect us to watch 24 hours of news every day. That should tell you something. Remember [the sky is falling].

And there is no more "news" today than there was in the 50's-30 minutes will cover it all. The rest is BS and opinion. Gott fill up those 23v1/2 with something
