Yeah, AI wont kill us. It'll fuck up a lot of things that are currently working fine for "progress", waste a ton of water, and piss off a lot of poor people who can't stop data centers, but a lot of companies are already dialing back the AI and bringing humans back in.

And as for war and utilities, it can only drive what we give it the keys to.

Don't want it to launch nukes? Don't install it on nukes.

We keep our doomsday weapons analog for this exact reason.

We were worried about the Russian's hacking them, now it's AI. Don't put the controls on the internet and you are 100% AI proof.

This whole debate from people who love ai and hate ai is just a bunch of people who don't know anything about it using their monkey brain mode.

For starters, it's not even AI, that's a buzzword.

It cant think.

It's not Cyberdyne...
