I've had a draft blog post on my todo list for awhile titled "Chauffeur Knowledge and the Impending AI Crack-Up." While humorous today, the eggs melting and sinus inflammation are perfect examples of where I think AI will cause the most destruction. I'm of the mind that any societal collapse generated by AI will be one of stupidity and over-reliance on AI's "intelligence" as infallible, not some Terminator scenario or elimination of too many jobs. Eventually, people will not know the difference between an AI "hallucination" and factual information. This becomes a serious problem when you consider that there's already an existing cohort of people who blindly trust Google over experienced humans. Case in point: I just saw a video [1] this morning where an air traffic controller argues with an experienced pilot about their approach method, citing "I Googled it" as their authoritative information source.
