Weird experience with AI recently. I did a Google search on how to process acorns and AI told me to put them in a cloth bag and let them sit in the river, and if I didn't have a river, to put them in my toilet tank... this is what happens when machines take over.
Luckily, we're not at the true takeover stage yet haha. Not yet AGI let alone ASI but, of course, I do worry about what happens on arrival -- things like "The Paperclip Problem".
For now, my understanding is that any civilian use AI tech, what we're calling "AI" -- LLMs, chatbots, etc -- is exclusively user-oriented and so they can't do anything independently as of yet.
These AI products are really useful tools once users learn the "language" to become a sort of "AI whisperer". There are many concerns and downsides that definitely dominate the discussion surrounding them.
