That article does its best to frame AI, and potential AI, as alien.
While AI may fit some classical definitions of the word alien, it certainly isn’t what people mean when they say alien.
Disingenuous obfuscation deliberate in its attempt borders on lies.
- krapp 2y agoThe article doesn't mention AI at all, as far as I can tell. It's just the typical boilerplate screed about how the government is hiding aliens and flying saucer from everyone and they need to tell us. Same "Roswell! Roswell!" song and dance the UFO crowd has been doing for years. But many people have been arguing that the most likely form of life to spread across the stars would be some form of AI for years, usually in the form of Von Neumann probes. That isn't deliberate, disingenuous obfuscation of anything, it's just speculation. Which is of course all anyone has, because this is all just folklore and grift.
