People definitely like to spout doom and gloom, but that doesn't avoid the fact that OpenAI is actually trying to develop artificial intelligence. Ignore the fear mongering or political/military concerns for a moment. There are very real questions that have to be answered, from logistical questions like how we'll recognize when we develop an intelligence or the moral questions like does an AI have rights similar to humans. Diamond nanobots ripping us apart to repurpose our atoms isn't a terribly useful conversation. But whether anyone can own an AI, whether turning one off is murder, or whether AIs deserve all the same rights and humans absolutely are. IMO those should have been prerequisites before we even considered questions like how to align an AI or risks of their existence, we shouldn't be going down that road at all if we're setting ourselves up to get caught with our pants down.
