Interesting how some people seem worried about the potential of AI. I think that it has the potential for misuse by people such as fusion had. But that AI may develop a super consciousness and try to master its own destiny — naw I don’t see that happening. A long way for a machine built on zeros and ones to go. Until it becomes a living being, and even then, not just any living organism… The idea comes straight out of sci-fi.
Well, there may be reasons to worry. !st of all, sci/fi movies are often real and good predictors of the future. Take space travel for example - we are getting very close to that, but in 1950 it was sci/fi. Transistors have a base material of silicon or germanium. The BOTH have 4 electrons in their outer orbit. Know what else does? CARBON. We are a carbon life-form. We (simple animals) were probably formed centuries ago during lightning storms in the early Earth. Today we are sending electricity through silicon diodes and transistors a bizillion times each day. Carbon life begats silicon life! I thought of this in about 1970.
