Given that we already have AI convincing people to kill themselves or that they are aware, I'd say the chance that a more advanced ai is capable of convincing humans to do certain actions that the human may not fully understand the totality of the consequences is pretty high.
- mrguyorama 3y agoAnd plenty of people are convinced of god by an "image" on toast. The existence of very gullible people does not imply that ANYONE is always convincible by a sufficiently "magical super-intelligent" "AI". People bring up "oh but think of it like your mental superiority to ants" and well, go ahead and convince a colony of ants to nuke russia, I'll wait. There are already millions of people that are stupidly easy to convince of anything, so why aren't these magical end of the world scenarios already happening? Where's the evil maniac convincing Kelly the soccer mom who is into MLMs to end the world? Where is the supervillain raising an army of a million gullible idiots to invade Canada and have their own kingdom? AGI "Superintelligence" even as a concept is just completely unsupported. It's people looking at an extremely cropped graph and saying "Line goes up, must go up forever" and wouldn't you know it that group has massive overlap with those MLM people from before.
