See the channel of Robert Miles AI safety to see the dangers of AI. And if you think of AI as a tool (which can be used maliciously by humans), you are missing the real danger. And it is exactly that - AI becoming 100s of times smarter than humans. Once that happens you have no way of controlling it (analogous how lions in africa have no way of controlling humanity... they don't even recognize that their survival as a spices is dependent on human behaviour and they can do nothing about that and would never even begin to comprehend the way humans can control them and their environment).
I don't believe ai can ever be "smarter" than humans. We have had calculators for a long time.

It's not a matter of belief. Since you used calculator as an example, imagine intelligence as a continuum from calculator to orders of magnitude higher than the smartest human. We've head continuous increase, albeit with some long periods of slow increase, and we are way past the intelligence of the calculator.
If you like to learn, watch the youtube channel I referenced above. It's very easy to follow.
And even if you are still 100% certain machines could never surpass human intelligence, I would like to ask you a question out of curiosity. Do you think humans have the maximum theoretical intelligence that is physically possible to exist in any entity - electronic or biological?

How do you, personally, define intelligence?
reply
Well, or the purposes of the danger I am explaining it's best to think of intelligence as the ability to map a future states of the world to current actions that are possible for the agent to perform.

AI digs through our trash. And spits it back out at a cost. HuMans can have faith something they see as higher truth and experience inspiration, the hand of god.
Or maybe your right.
I'm not here to be right. Just observe.

You and I have a different definition of intelligence. For me, it is creativity. Creativity comes from a connection to source, where all ideas some from. This is not something a fast calculator will ever have. Just my belief. For me, it is a matter of belief. Belief creates reality. I live in the middle of the desert. AI will never worry me. 💚
