>>9336Only change is just more data fed and faster machines used, there's really been no qualitative shift. There's really no "AI" strictly speaking, it's just dumb mathematical programs that are now fed tons of data, so you now have some illusion of complexity through sheer volume of models and relations between them rather than through a leap in logic. Everything else is pure hype to attract consumers and investors.
That doesn't mean AI isn't dangerous if we relegate our decisions to its mathematical models built on past data, meaning it just reproduces status quo with a force of an autistic retard. A program simply executes its code, it knows no exceptions or interruptions, has no awareness of anything, it is as dumb as any other machine. This total stupidity is exactly what makes it dangerous, imagine a malfunctioning self-driving truck crushing everything in its path and apply that to algorithms that govern whole societies and economies. You can't negotiate or reason with it, threaten it, etc. It's not a politician or a union or a protestor or a terrorist. OTOH that's the beauty of it, it literally can't surrender like a human can.
