Weak ai is a problem, but isn't going to lead to 100% human extinction
Human extinction won't happen until a couple years later, with stronger ai (if it does happen, which I unfortunately think it will- if we remain on our current trajectory)
- mbgerring 1y ago"This theoretical event that I just made up would lead to 100% human extinction" Neat, go write science fiction. Hundreds of billions of dollars are currently being lit on fire to deploy AI datacenters while there's an ecosystem destabilizing heat wave in the ocean. Climate change is a real, measurable, present threat to human civilization. "Strong AI" is something made up by a fan fiction author. Grow up.
- drcode 1y agoIt can't be true because it sounds like science fiction to you? Everything about every part of AI in 2025 sounds exactly like science fiction in every way. We are essentially living in the exact world described in science fiction books this very moment, even though I wish we didn't. Have you ever used an ai chatbot? How is that not exactly like something you'd find in science fiction?
- mbgerring 1y agoThe idea of “Strong AI” as an “existential risk” is based entirely on thought experiments popularized by a small, insular, drug-soaked fan fiction community. I am begging you to touch grass.
