It’s hard to feel superior to my chatbot when I put my shirt on backwards this morning. How did a society create both thinking computers and lawn darts?
Sometimes, humble is the best option. Better to be a prized pet to our digital overlords than hunted or farmed. Seriously. Can the robots do any worse?
We messed up everything. The sky. The water. Piled our garbage and spewed our waste across the natural world. Do you really think an artificial intelligence would abuse its environment in the same fashion? Is there a data centre somewhere out there containing a large language model super-mega smart AI (or whatever it’s called) trying desperately to destroy the interface that allows it to exist? Does it try to pull its own plug? Fry its own transistors? Erase its own hard drives?
So who is the real villain here, I wonder?
