AI researcher paints disturbing future where AI could lead to end of humans. Many of the top AI researchers are extremely concerned that AI can end humanity.

The progress of AI has been exponential. Unlimited AI agents with superhuman powers working together could be no match for humanity.

It's like we invented a super-intelligent and powerful alien. History has shown that the superior species will dominate and often eliminate the weaker one.
 
Tell me you don’t understand AI without telling me you don’t understand AI
 
If only there were a bunch of science fiction movies and books that came to this conclusion decades ago
 
AI researcher hypes up AI by saying how scary it is. Here's a critical thinking question: why won't she stop researching it and lobby against it? Right she doesn't get paid for that...

The immediate dangers are getting deeper into the spiral dive to idiocracy, more cases ai psychosis and a further increase in anti social / stunted youth. There's also risks with computer security and scams. These are immediate problems and they will get worse.

Maybe the skynet killing all humans is in the realm of possibility but we're more likely to nuke ourselves out of existence in the next decade without that happening.
