This metaphor is infected with irrelevant symbolism.
Aliens invasion is linked to mass slaughter in human culture. While Aliens are non-human creatures with some monster-like qualities.
The author takes all that symbolic load and add it to something completely unrelated. That's unconvincing as an argument
- ACCount37 1y agoAliens don't have to be hostile. They might be benign. Would you stake the entirety of humankind on that "might"?
- breppp 1y agoyes, however that metaphor is non-interesting because aliens is not AI. Aliens were not introduced to earth by humans or created by humans. there might be real risk with AI, taking the symbolism of an event that never happened does not help with understanding it. If you want a more similar example: What if I told you humans had the power to destroy the entire planet and have given that power to popularly elected politicians? that's pretty alarming, now that's something to compare to AI (in my opinion AI is less risky)
