This is like someone saying there's no proof of God and then responding with there's no proof that there isn't a God. It's safe to say that the burden of proof falls on the one making outrageous claims which is you.
- mike_ivanov 3y agoBy this very logic you should deny global warming. 1) no human-made global catastrophe ever happened before (no evidence) and 2) it's an outrageous claim with severe implications to the economy, social life, etc - so, why bother?
- Difwif 3y agoExcept there is evidence that climate change is happening today and it's caused by human soceity. We also have evidence of very different past climates on earth that we know are uninhabitable for humans. Meanwhile AI dooms day scenarios use sci-fi movies as evidence and humanity has "survived" many technological revolutions in the past. Do you think everyone would care as much if the Terminator movies weren't so popular? Personally I think there's some risk and problems to solve but it doesn't warrant the authoritarian panic responses it gets.
- mike_ivanov 3y agoIn my opinion, AI carries an existential risk to the humanity. It has nothing to do with Sci-Fi, but rather is a mere observation of what happens to forest inhabitants when humans come and start building houses. I live in such area. Shall we ban it? No - it's impossible. Too late.
