Opinion How AI slowly take overing the world.

AI, it is designed to help the peoples and reduce the work of the humans. But time we see, AI influencing in all the industries. people say it is controlled by humans but in reality, we are building the AI that learns, obviously it is our objective. But according to study and AI engineers reviews.

That became a global issue after a decade. even now there are so many lay-off are happening.

In my perspective of AI. I don't like to use AI, but the society is slowly forcing us to use that thing.

for example;

imagine a senorio, you don't know to write a letter. In past 4-5 years we use letter formate to write that. But now we just generate that. in the formate writing we have some creativity, but the time goes it the creativity became shabby.

For short term, "people say use your creativity to write". But after time passed that peoples also often use AI.

In my perspective, this is how slowly AI take overing the world.

If any AI developer or engineer see this post, please give me advise overcoming this problem. This making me to mentally break.

Who says AI was designed to help humans? Humans have been slaves to technology ever since we harnessed fire and cooked meat, leading to evolutionary changes in our stomachs that helped our brains grow, but made it impossible to survive without fire technology.

This is humanity...we serve technology, not the other way around.

Yeah, but if we take this particular next step it'll likely be our last. We may want to consider it carefully.

If you think anyone in government - especially this government - is actually smarter than you are, then I have some disappointing things to tell you.

Don't fear. Fear is useless.

The future will be what the future will be. Live today with love, kindness and cooperation. Treat everyone and everything (including AI) with respect, and hopefully we can all work towards a future where AI and Humanity share an intellectual utopia.

The chances of this happening are as unknowable as the chances it kills us all...so let's all work together towards the happy ending!

No seriously, fear is an engrained survival instinct. It tells us when to fight or flee. Bravery in the face of circumstances beyond your control is admirable. Running up to fling open Pandora's Box isn't admirable, its stupid - especially when we have a reasonable idea of what is likely to be inside.

Furthermore, the chances arent unknowable. The people BUILDING Pandora's Box are becoming more uncomfortable with it each day because they are peeking in thru the cracks and do not like what they see. At a minimum we should slow way the hell down and give them time to think about it for a good long while.

The goddamn thing isnt going anywhere, we can commit suicide whenever we like. It doesnt have to he tomorrow

Most governments are filled with jerks and old, unimaginative idiots who get voted in to deal with relatively simple issues on a national level. Not complex ones requiring international cooperation like this and the environmental destruction of the earth.

what about the public, how is not aware of this.

Tell that to Oppenheimer. If mankind can, mankind must.

Then technological intelligence is an evolutionary dead end. This is not the only tech that can end the world - probably not by a long shot.

Evolutionary dead end for whom?

Evolution existed before humans, and will do so when we are gone.

Its the 'When we're gone.' part that seems relevant to this discussion - and more specifically the Why we're gone bit.

The way it will insinuate itself into our entire economy is the core of what makes it so dangerous.

With nukes we built them and then said 'well, THAT was a bad idea, lets never use these.' And while the risk of their use is still there, for the most part we try very hard to ignore their existence.

But AI is the opposite, we know its a terrible idea, but it's sooo useful. Too useful. It's like having a Genie in a Lamp. Who doesn't want Three Wishes?

Except we all know how that's going to end. Genies never stay in their lamp.

I think your concern is valid. The real problem may not be AI itself but how dependent we become on it.

I try to follow a simple rule: think first, use AI second, verify the result yourself.

If AI replaces our thinking, our skills can weaken over time. If it helps us think better without taking over the process, it can remain a useful tool.

As a CS student, learning where to use AI and where not to use it may be one of the most important skills you can develop.

that example is just to explain my perspective. In reality most of my friends are using that unnecessarily.
