Do you genuinely not recognize the possibility that software can, even unintentionally, cause significant harm to both individuals and large groups of people?

Do you genuinely not recognize the possibility that software can, even unintentionally, cause significant harm to both individuals and large groups of people?
Do I need to list out cases where that has already happen?
- gumballindie 3y agoThere’s a huge gap between unintentional software errors and software choosing to do harm by its own “desire”. The crowd seeks to think ai will “do” the latter. And that’s an issue. Also it seems like there’s a pattern of redefining the meaning of words to accommodate that imaginary world. All this sounds like a copy cat of 90’s scares about computer virii and ai (yes, this not the first ai is “taking over the world”). Amusing people used to come out on tv to tell us how virii will take over nuclear plants and ai will make those virii.
