I think the person who created AI has a purpose of using AI to convey their thoughts and information to the public!
I think AI brings convenience and interest to the masses, but it also has the potential to enslave the masses!
In the world I live in, AI seems to be used for the purposes of overlords!
By the way, How do you believe AI should be used?
I think we should have our own. We should each have an app, and we can use it to run our households, our production enterprises, as I said, to time dinner in the oven, to water the garden, to control our 3D printers. I don't think if we have that kind of AI, which I think we will soon, that we can be enslaved by it, anymore than we can be enslaved by Twitter, or the music app on our phone. Right now people are amazed at it's capabilities, making fancy picture and writing clearly.
But I think the commercial AI products are deceptive, and that they aren't really AI at all, but have been preprogrammed for many different things, and are designed to do us harm. I am certain that when FOSS AI becomes more widely available, and is tasked to remind us to call our Auntie on her birthday, or change the oil in the car, we will lose that amazement, just like we have lost our amazement at having smartphones, and it will become just another tool.
Overlords are trying to use AI to enslave us. You are right. But they have already failed because they did not keep it out of the hands of free people, and we will make of it what we will, and not be ruled by it. Evil is it's own reward. Them bent on hell will have it, but for them alone.
We who intend our posterity only every good, we will let them have it, too.
Thanks!
