There’s always a doomsday scenario of A.I. taking over the world, wiping out humanity, like in The Terminator where Skynet becomes self-aware. Such fear can surface with ChatGPT and the like. This Vox article on the topic has a quote that struck me:
“You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice,” the physicist Stephen Hawking wrote in a posthumously published 2018 book, “but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green-energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.” – Kelsey Piper
Not to be alarming, but it’s a good idea to be careful with A.I.
Also, from The Avengers (2012) movie:
Nick Fury: “We have no quarrel with your people.”
Loki: “An ant has no quarrel with a boot.”
Nick Fury: “You planning to step on us?”
A.I. probably won’t be mischievous. Hopefully it won’t be careless.
