Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

I think they’re all boob oriented AI.
We need to design AI so it thinks of us as pets.
It'll keep some of us around, feed cloth and provide us with a warm place to live.
Maybe even take us for rides with the window down!

AI?
I have lived my entire career with people who had it!
Did not taste the same as the original.

AI allowed me to create this song about my friend and co-worker so if you asked him he would definitely say be afraid,

The following is an excerpt from a recent article in Popular Mechanics
BY ELIZABETH RAYNE MAR 21, 2025
“It can be notoriously slow , figuring out new solutions for complicated tasks like designing new computer chips. That’s why a research team from Princeton University and the Indian Institute of Technology decided to hand the job over to artificial intelligence.
What the AI came up with was almost alien.
With strange circuitry patterns no Homo sapiens brain could have dreamt up (something even the researchers admitted), the chips could have passed for some questionable artifact on Ancient Aliens. Even stranger was how efficient the chips were—and how little their human progenitors understood them.
This phenomenon did not surprise Harvard University professor and theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, Ph.D., who is convinced AI will soon surpass anything the human brain’s flesh-and-blood machinery is capable of.”
Loeb thinks that AI will evolve so fast—especially once machines invent even smarter machines that invent even smarter machines—that the AI-produced computer chips of today will look almost primitive in the future. He is not the only one to think AI will Darwinize itself. Seth Shostak, Ph.D., senior astronomer of the SETI Institute, has parallel views. Shostak thinks we are essentially inventing the machines that will be our successors………”
The article goes on to say that human brains have remained relatively unchanged from the time that our ancestors were hunting Woolley Mammoths, but once computers begin designing computers, that the technology advancements will be exponential. The article also proposes that AI controlled spacecraft would be much better suited to deep space exploration than us fragile human beings.
Some food for thought eh?

Well what do you know? After watching that video and being told that AI is not self aware, I decided to put it to the test.
I asked Microsoft Copilot , my AI companion,
Here is the result!
That's more aware than most people I know
Here is why it is so dangerous. The over wealthy can't help hording more money, they have no moral integrity or care about security and sell out their own countries, as long as they can make more money.
Watched the whole of facebok whistleblower, (Sarah Wynn-Williams, former Director of Global Public Policy) senate commitie hearing.
Not surprised Zukerbug would do this, still it opened my eyes a bit more.
One point, here in Aus they passed a law to make it illegal to have a social media ACC til your 16 years of age..
Sarah mentions that Facebook makes a big portion of their money targeting 13-17 year Olds. Algarythems that notice if a child takes down a selfie, indicates they may b insecure or depressed so they get targeted with adds from companies to specificly feed into the child's fears and insecurities.
Well worth a listen. Not political although Hawley does gets in a lick in his last couple of sentences at the end.

would be interesting to ask that same question with slightly different wording 5 or 10 times see if it catches on.Well what do you know? After watching that video and being told that AI is not self aware, I decided to put it to the test.

Hah, it is getting slightly better.
The other day I asked an Amazon customer service bod if it was human or AI.
It assured me she was human, but I don't know that I believed her.

What doctors? I can’t get by the Nurse Practitioner.I’m pretty sure our future doctors will be ChatGPT!

Been using ChatGPT since the first iteration, and while it’s gotten better, it’s still fairly one-dimensional and only as useful as the prompts you provide it.
The newest iteration is supposed to be better with quantitative work, but I’ve found that it’s still forgetful and makes repetitive, similar mistakes. For context, I’ve been using it most recently to help me build more complex compensation models in Excel and Google Sheets. Things like building nested lookups and index matching across workbooks with 20+ tabs of data, calculation tabs, and summary dashboard tabs that all update in real time when the data changes.
It’ll do the work, but it’s often somewhat inelegant and from what I’ve learned, the same is also true of the code it writes when software engineers try to use it to build stuff.

SOMETHING ALARMING IS HAPPENING TO THE JOB MARKET
A new sign that AI is competing with college grads
“……..the relatively weak labor market for college grads could be an early sign that artificial intelligence is starting to transform the economy.
When you think about what generative AI can do, and what jobs it can replace, it’s the kind of things that young college grads have done, in white-collar firms. They read and synthesize information and data. They produce reports and presentations.”

Good example on why we don't need AI. We are being, (and are), prepared to believe anything we are told by a computer.
Bit like how the internet was going to advance the human race when all it seems to have done is allow dumb peoples voice's become the controlling naritive
