Artificial intelligence must DIE!

I hate AI and everything associated with it, claimed about it, and those who are promoting it with a passion!
I'm so tired of hearing the, frankly ludicrous, claims that it will "improve our lives", and that we'll all "merge" with it in some weird, geeky tech utopia (the f**king 'singularity'), and how we'll all become unemployed and unemployable, because those demonic contraptions will do all the work for us, while we just sit at home and rot!
I can see now that people will be conned into believing that it somehow "cares for us", and that it's sentient, and self-aware, and truly intelligent. No, wrong. That won't happen, because sentience requires a soul. Machines don't have souls, they don't care about us, they're just inanimate objects, created by us, to serve us, but apparently most people just can't see something so glaringly obvious!
Is this the future you truly want? I don't. Isn't this what the Terminator films were all about?

The name is quite misleading. There is nothing intelligent about it. It has no idea of what any of its input or output means and will never have a plan or goal for itself. The only risk is people putting too much trust in it. It can be a useful tool, but never replace human judgement.

Completely agree. Artificial intelligence is just that - artificial. It will be a useful tool but will have negative sides, too, as with every new technology before it did.

@NerdyPotato Exactly. That's what I mainly worry about; that people will treat these contraptions like they're actually intelligent, like they're actual people.

@NerdyPotato respectfully disagree that AI. I don't know a lot about it but in visual coding yes it's perverse and it's assumptions come from whomever built it.

@WowwGirl it basically just copies details from different training data into a new combination. It's not so much who built it, but what data was fed into it. If that's biased or stereotypical, so will the result be. And that's the case on many topics, so the results should be taken with a grain of salt. The biggest danger is users blindly accepting the results without understanding how AI compiles it, and assuming it was an intelligent process.

@NerdyPotato interesting thank you
