After seeing some ChatGPT interactions I believe all doomsday AI scenarios are stupid and I also believe it’s impossible for an intelligent creature to create a creature more intelligent than itself.

Say what you want, I speak for myself. People way much, much, much smarter than me are working on this. Not one, but many. AI will have its use—which it will increase—and it will get better. It is barely on its infancy.

About perceived impossibilities, we are very good at achieving things that previously seemed impossible.

How come “Speed Bump” is not an “AI”?!

My view is, if we ever get to a point that a true “AI” can be created, something that can entirely learn new concepts by itself and exponentially expand it’s own knowledge base without being told to do so (basically what I would consider sentient at that point), humans won’t know about it until it’s significantly too late to stop it. I think that’s where the general hysteria comes from, but for now I’ll use these LLMs to spit out lists of cyber security controls to make my work that little bit easier
