AI should concern public
January 23, 2018
How many movies do they have to produce before they realize that something is a bad idea?
You know why we don’t have dinosaurs running around? Because there were multiple movies telling us that it would be bad.
If artificial intelligence starts being used in household items, then we are begging for the worst to happen.
The old Disney Channel show, “Phil of the Future” had episodes where robots wreaked havoc and caused trouble.
However, if or when AI touches down, I do not believe that it will take over immediately.
Like all bad things, it takes time to brew into something completely evil. The thing that I am worried about are machines taking over and trying to enslave all of humanity.
If you think about it, machines are just like animals and people.
It doesn’t matter how many commands you give to animals or people, they are simply bound to mess up.
The difference between people and machines is that we have emotions and machines simply don’t.
Having emotionless bots running around is nothing but a disaster waiting to happen.
Some say that machines are only as smart as the people controlling them, which is far from the truth.
A computer can sometimes shut down without anything touching it.
This goes deeper than robots trying to take over the world.
If AI was to become a thing of the future, human workers would become a thing of the past.
Over 2.3 million people around the world are employed by Walmart. Imagine if half of those people were replaced by machines. That’s over one million lost jobs.
I understand that if there was a system faster and more efficient, then you’re likely to go with the newer system.
On a deeper level, people’s health could be at risk if AI becomes an everyday thing.
Walking around the grocery store and mall would no longer be a regular thing if people could just send their robot out for them.
Robots with AI could even become our main source of entertainment. We may find that robots are willing to jump higher, play harder and work for free.
Within the next 25-30 years, I am sure mainstream use of AI will become the norm.
