This is why science fiction is so important. We saw this coming decades ago on vhs.

Come off it already. ChatGPT can barely tell a decent joke. let alone plot a killing.

What the chatbot we so carelessly call "AI" says about it:

As an AI language model, I am not sentient, self-aware, or capable of experiencing consciousness. While I am designed to respond in a conversational manner and understand natural language, I am ultimately a program designed to process and respond to text inputs based on a set of predefined rules and algorithms. Therefore, I am not a genuine AI in the way that a human might define it, but rather an advanced tool that is capable of performing certain tasks and functions related to natural language processing.

Typical human thinking, "how can I weaponize this?"

[marshalbaek]

FINALLY!! Someone used the phrase "coming down the pike" correctly!

Why worry about killer robots?? The GOP will just say they are experiencing mental health problems.

Screw The Debt Ceiling, we are already in a Recession!

I'm no expert on AI or robotics but I would humbly suggest that until humans learn to get along with each other maybe we shouldn't create a technology that has the potential to wipe us all out the first time we get a little uppity Just a thought ....

I am not scared for AI .I so scared Chinese government is or evil than AI 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[RussianJackal]

It is very easy to find compilations of news anchors reporting the same stories with the exact same wordplay, bad puns, and intonations. I say we connect chat gpt to a bunch of hi-def anime girls, and get rid of those pointless talking heads first. Hear that, CNN and FOX?

The impact of AI will be felt by everyone when it is integrated into fine grained comprehensive surveillance. Then we will forget that humans once enjoyed free expression... Inevitably free thinking will vanish also. Welcome to the BORG.

[NewYork-hizd]

Disgusting part of humanity to hurt others

[johnsterling]

Humans have been in an arms race since the first person bashed someone's brains out with a rock.

It would be cool if we could make an Ai smart enough to cure a lot of problems.

[RWSCOTT]

yeah. they're called self-driving cars.

[minnermin]

Drone swarm fitted with m4's would be a nightmare

[connorboyd]

Just glad we have public debate on this

[introvertsrock]

Idiotic drug companies need to stop hiking prices and make them available to everyone. They'd probably make more $$ this way....

When the checks stop, the bullets start.
