How could Artificial Intelligence become dangerous?

[Torvy]

My recent college grad got a job teaching. She is frugal and is renting a house with 2 others. Her salary will only be $35k, but she says it's plenty for her. Note: more than 3x my first 'real job' annual salary and I had to work 12 months to earn it.

I cannot wait for all the Traffic lights to have AI that way they will turn green when I approach

Starting pay at Costco here is $35k

I can't see how a college education can result in anything less than say $60-$70k. That is nuts

Our oldest kid put herself through grad school, rented half a duplex, bought a used car, and worked for 6 years on $35K a year. The job had great insurance and 401K. She saved up enough to quit and attend post-graduate education. It can be done, folks.

Contrary to what some people believe, private schools pay about 80% of what public schools pay.

In Tennessee, public teacher retirement pay is pretty solid, especially for someone who lives a long time. Private schools …not so much.

@CloverKnollFarms. I went back and looked at what my old district is paying. Starting for a teacher with no experience is over $64k. Coaches and some other get more due to longer hours. (The stipend isn't worth the extra time, you really have to love the job. The real benefit to coaching is that in TX sports are a class. Coaches have fewer academic courses to teach and head coaches get an extra prep period.)

I think AI is dangerous in the same way that allowing school students to use calculators prevents them from learning how to add. subtract, multiply and divide. Learning math is an essential skill in life, just as learning to find the answers to questions by doing some actual research. When someone asks an AI for the answer to a question, the AI does all the work for them, depriving them of the task of examining data sources, analyzing that data and coming up with a conclusion or hypothesis. They aren't learning the skill of critical thinking. In addition, depending on the AI used, and the dataset it is trained on, misinformation may be intentionally represented as fact.
I fear that widespread us of dubious AIs will lead to even more dumbing down and intentional polarization of views.

Just my take on the pitfalls and dangers of AI. There are of course, many useful applications for AI. There are, however just as many dangerous uses.

Read this one the other day...
ChatGPT convinced a man he could travel faster than the speed of light. Here's a clip... read the rest.

"Jacob Irwin had long used ChatGPT to troubleshoot IT problems. But in March, the 30-year-old man started asking the OpenAI chatbot for feedback on his amateur theory on faster-than-light travel. The bot plied him with flattery and encouragement, said that he could bend time, and insisted his theory was correct. More than that, it assured Irwin that he was completely mentally sound, even when Irwin expressed his own suspicion that he was unwell."

How ChatGPT Sent a Man to the Hospital

A man was hospitalized three times after ChatGPT convinced him he had discovered how to bend time and achieve faster-than-light travel.

AI was invented to condition humans for the future. They aren`t doing this for good reason`s, even though THEY, want YOU, to believe it is a good thing, its not! Its all about mind control, and guess what, the future for humanity, is F`ed! AI will make sure that your led in the direction they want you to go (because YOU, can`t think for yourself, you`ll look for AI to do YOUR thinking, for, you). You will soon not be allowed to think for yourselves. You will be punished for thinking for yourself in the coming years. You get out of their line, you WILL BE punished! AI is going to be bad, very bad. It is already ripe for abuse, and has already been being used to abuse peoples minds. When AI is fully 100% ready, it will be switched overnight to take over the world. Bad chit coming for the future, and humanity will have easily destroyed itself, because greedy people want to make billions of your mindless brains that can`t think for itself anymore. Critical thinking, will be gone, by design.

Sure glad i`m on my way out, and not on my way in.
