Yeah and vaccines make you magnetic. Science bad.
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.

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.

I think part of the wisdom in the warning is that any kind of “intelligence” (read: NOT specifically artificial general intelligence) is capable of running away with unforseen scenarios.
Hell, even normal ol’ algorithms can have some pretty nasty edge cases that noone spots until it’s running in production… Sure it’s uncommon, but it’s not exactly rare. (just look up the list of zero-day exploits over the years)

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