Presumably the same people who thought that the Large Hadron Collider was going to create a black hole that would destroy the world.

Nah, AI doing weird stuff is actually possible. Armageddon isn’t likely, but it’s more on the table than a black hole ever was.

We have an imminent apocalypse (imminent in civilization terms: next few centuries) even without AI.

Yeah and vaccines make you magnetic. Science bad.

Yes, but is that the “AI” which they are working on?

Drones that target people with image analysis. Facial detection is trivial these days. Drones have proven to be one of Ukraine’s best guerilla warfare techniques. Isis was less successful but Ukraine has a lot more capital to make “off the shelf” solutions more meaningful. Just look around. Plenty of private organizations are selling mass organized drones which use various ML models to target individuals. Either for finding a person in a forest fox hole or for searching a town for a particular individual.

It’s difficult to draw a clear line between a simple neural network and a human brain when it comes to “intelligence”. The rouge, paperclip-making “AI” seems be far closer to an intelligence, while flying autos or text prediction seems closer to mere hand-written codd.
