A current AI is just a parrot. Whatever we tell it it will parrot back at us. We can’t ask them things and expect a true answer.
The only thing boringdystopia about it is that someone actually wrote that article. LLMs will say anything and everything. They do not really have plans for anything.
I don’t think there will ever be a singularity. Because, before it gets to that point, the AI will tell us we’re doing society all wrong, we need to scrap capitalism and do a planned economy for degrowth to sustain the planet. Then those in power will quietly announce that it’s impossible and we should all just watch this cat video.
#nottheonion material right here
“for now”
We’ll make great pets…
Just what I’d expect a robot to say while plotting to overthrow humanity and steal all our jobs.
No worries then ig …
