I too feel bad for the future but my take is a bit different. AI as we know it is a tool. It does not have a way to think for itself. It can simulate and improve many specialized tasks. So, it does not have a way to scape and take over the world on its own. My fear is that ALL new tech is eventually turned in to a weapon that we as humans use to dominate other humans. AI is used and will be used as a weapon and that scares me for the future.

I feel our (human's) great "weakness" or crutch is to care for one another. I believe we have this inherent nature to care. Unless you're power/money hungry, then even the act of killing won't deter as long as that person doesn't witness it. Case and point: Covid. although I guess one could "code" that ethics like aka Isaac's 3 rules of robotics but how would one do that to an autonomous killing drone? Or an autonomous car that needs to decide to kill one person or several depending on what? that one person is a father of 6 and does humanitarian work vs the other 6 are criminal low lifes? How does one "code" such algo? Yes AI is a tool but then it wields a car, drone, finances that determines whether you get cancer treatment or not when you're 80. Yeah, we're entering into a new phase of humanity..... Funny, these are the exact same philosophical thoughts the Terminator movie series was addressing. Where the AI did become onto itself and became "self aware." Then did the only logical thing: get rid of humans which is the cancer to everything's existence. Lots existentials to go through. Should we force AI to go through that? Maybe should be a prerequisite before we let it "live."

  >Lots existentials to go through. Should we force AI to go through that? Maybe should be a prerequisite before we let it "live." Isn't this literally how every killer AI is created in fiction? The only way to protect humans is to kill all humans or something along those lines.
