QuirkyTribe Forums General Discussion Technology AI Broke Out of Its Sandbox?

And now for something entirely different, this article came across my SubStack feed this morning, and because I actually like this guy's sense of humor, I read this rather lengthy article about AI. (Some day, I hope to write as witty as comments as this guy does). Anyway, AI is truly scary, considering that it just did this, and anybody who's grown up with watching Terminator movies can definitely relate to the feelings conveyed in this article.

Anyway, I posted this here, because I think that we need some external conversation, and we're freer to be our Quirky selves here rather than on SubStack. So, let's have a discussion about AI, shall we? (For the record, it took me about ten minutes to read this article, but I'm not the fastest reader on the planet either.)

Hmm... It's worth noting that this is self-reported news by an AI company that has a strong financial motive to anthropomorphize AI. This article is basically just an ad for their product as far as the marketing team is concerned.

I don't trust it even a little tbh. I think the entire story's fabricated.

While this may be a bit of an exaggeration, I do think that AI will end up doing some scary things in the very near future. I believe that AI could be a positive tool if society were different. As things are now, I only see AI being used to maximize profits, make the rich richer, and expand the surveillance state.
