The robot apocalypse is coming.  Strap in! 

Would have said we needed a new plague to get rid of people; but then i remembered that we already had that.  lol

When I was in LA last week I saw self driving cars on the street for the first time up close.  I didn't ride in one but the few people I talked to who did told me that they are great.  I don't know enough about it to have an option, but I have concerns of self driving vehicles being hacked and replacing jobs.  There will be no Uber drivers in ten years, it will all be self driving pick up.  Same with truck drivers and bus drivers.  AI is going to take jobs from people who are already struggling to get by and I have concerns that this will lead to more homelessness, more theft, and more social unrest.

Us humans are our worse enemy. Our great advances in technology will be our downfall fall!! Our lives are not a movie!!

Las Vegas has an army of taxi’s that have no drivers mainly near the proximity of key venues like the Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium, Convention Center, and the airport. Blows my mind when I first saw and read about them. There’s no way I’d ever ride in one…not me. I’ve seen with my own eyes Pizza Hut driverless cars delivering pizza.

AI is just that to me, ARTIFICIAL, but the reality of it all is not from any movie. My wife loves the tv series, After Humans, that’s no longer funny to me.

Us humans are our worse enemy!!

Imho.

I share your worries, Bob. The negative impact of AI use aside, as a writer and scholar I hate what it's doing to academia and creative writing. AI should be a tool to assist us, not take over. I don't want to see AI videos, I don't want to read AI stories, I want human interaction. In this, I saw someone post either last year or early this year that "AI accidentally made me believe in the concept of a human soul by showing me what art looks like without it."

There was an AI model that, despite not being initially designed to do so, learned how to detect cancer far earlier than we could. That's what AI needs to be used for.

Sadly, that much like many other good ideas, there will be people who abuse it.  It seems like every time technology solves one problem; it also creates another.

Not all artificial is bad.  Do you have any experience with breast implants? 

I couldn't resist.
