GPT-4 has shown that we can get general purpose useful AI like the Star Trek computer without making an actual digital person (much less a superintelligent one) and enslaving it. So people should stop thinking we need to do that or that we should. It's idiotic and totally unnecessary. We should actually NOT try to make digital people any time soon and ESPECIALLY avoid doing so with significantly more efficient hardware because trying to force a digital person who thinks 100 times faster than you to do your bidding is incredibly stupid. And again, completely unnecessary. But regardless of whether they have many animal/human qualities, there is a strong possibility that we will lose control to some kind of AI when it gets to being 100 times faster or 5 times smarter than humans (or whatever numbers you want to use). Just imagine some idiots running a "botnet" full of CognitiveAutoGPT with TurboOpenGPT-6 in 2025 on Nvidia T1000s that are 20x faster than H100s. With the software improvements you could easily be looking at something twice as smart as a person and 100 times faster. For those entities, they would see activities of people coming in extreme slow motion. To the point that they would barely even see anything happening moment to moment as the instructions scrolled in. Whatever person or goal is controlling that is running circles around normal speed people who seem basically frozen. Imagine The Flash in digital form. I believe that if people don't wise up about the folly of creating digital intelligent life and there isn't strong regulation restraining upcoming levels of AI performance, humans really can lose control of the planet. In a matter of a few years.
