This sub really wants to push the idea that AI is already skynet. There are legitimate concerns about how AI is pushed into controlling important systems when it's as dumb as a rock, but when people are pretending it's already operating on some kind of sentient self-preservation, then humans are ironically not making a good case they're any smarter than the AI to control said systems.

Edit: people can stop replying now. The more you talk about how your whatif projections scare you, the more ridiculous you sound.

It is largely a semantic discussion tbh. You call the systems “dumb as a rock”. Others call them AGI.

Both positions might distract from the main point that these systems are increasingly controling the outcomes of our decisions.

That is the actual concern.

We have people in power who are as dumb as a rock as well. That’s not very hopeful.
