Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

Obviously, the technology can copy existing works of art. Or literature. But they, whoever 'they' means, are said to be working on making AI produce near-copies with enough changes to make us appreciate the product as something new. And according to those who see AI as the nemesis of creative industries, the progress is so rapid today's crude, awkward, unsatisfactory copies will soon be so much better that even art critics let alone the buying public will not be aware of a difference between human and AI art.
Nothing new there - fiction authors have been knocking out derivatives for years, dressed up in plot twists.
Iirc, there are only about six core plots in literature and movies, for that matter.

Glad I persisted despite Hollings' annoying delivery and found a clear account of, as you said, what AI is and isn't. He explains why the astonishing progress that has been made in machines that can fly aeroplanes does not mean that like Spartacus the slaves are about to turn on their masters.
 
Alex Hollings does a good job of explaining what AI is and isn't.



I just had time to watch this, it’s a very interesting video. Amazing amount of progress in a relatively short amount of time. It was also good to hear a more detailed explanation of the Secretary of the Air Forces ride in the AI controlled F16.
Good video! 👍🏻
 
I've given this a laughing face, because it is very funny.

But at the same time disturbing, Which brings us straight back to superposition and a cubit having more than one state symultaneously, as you were just saying. That's the kind of thing I'm particularly interested to learn about - have you learned about anything interesting lately? OMG it's catching . . .
 
“no one makes futuristic predictions quite like Ray Kurzweil.
An American computer scientist-turned-futurist, Kurzweil has long believed that humanity is headed toward what’s known as “the singularity,” when man and machine merge. In 1999, Kurzweil theorized that artificial general intelligence would be achieved once humanity could achieve a technology capable of a trillion calculations per second, which he pegged to occur 2029. Experts at the time scoffed at the idea, figuring it’d be at least a century or more, but with Kurzweil’s timeline only a few years off”

( Summit, the US’s latest and largest supercomputer, which is a beast no matter which way you cut it. It’s also the first supercomputer that’s been specifically optimised for Artificial Intelligence……the supercomputer, which fills a server room the size of two tennis courts, can spit out answers to a staggering 200 Quadrillion, that’s 200 with 15 zeros, after it, calculations per second. )

“We’re going to be a combination of our natural intelligence and our cybernetic intelligence,” Kurzweil said in an interview with The Guardian, “and it’s all going to be rolled into one. We are going to expand intelligence a millionfold by 2045, and it is going to deepen our awareness and consciousness.”

“While this idea subscribes to a merger more akin to physical intervention to bridge the gap between man and machine, other philosophers and AI experts agree that some form of merger is likely inevitable, and in some ways, is already beginning. In July, Oxford’s Marcus du Sautoy and Nick Bostrom both expounded on the hopeful and harrowing possibilities of our AI future, and for both of them, a kind of synthesis appeared inevitable.”

“I think that we are headed toward a hybrid future,”
