You are fallaciously appealing to (assumed) authority and missing entirely the fact that the author is a PhD in AI. This critically underscores why blind faith in authority is bad, and why people should do some basic research such as reading the article. By reading the article you would have understood the arguments the author is making on their merits, rather than on blind faith in imagined authority figures you are citing. The author is not talking about sentient AI turning Hollywood film evil like Elon Musk did. Why no, that would be ludicrous. You would have easily noticed that if your mental model didn’t get trained to filter out article titles like these… In fact what you did with your mental model is exactly some of the problems with AI that is dangerous. There are more banal problems with AI such as encoding discrimination and automating it, possibly absolving people of the responsibility of discrimination and prejudice. AI in its current form is a lot of automating assumption making. Imagine taking your assumption making powers, and extracting it into an unaccountable model that can be deployed at national or global scales. |

Just say this part! This is what we could be talking about. It’s not a difficult mental model. But it’s just wrapped up in alarmist rhetoric that makes it hard for us to focus on the fact that the quote above is terrifying!!
