In all honesty, I have to admit that my skepticism about artificial intelligence comes from having watched sci-fi films that were premised on a near future in which AI wiped out humanity.
These were pretty obscure, I guess. One was called “The Matrix,” and another “Terminator” or something?

My skepticism about artificial intelligence comes from realizing the sharp limitations of human intelligence.

Just kidding, it’s creepy AF.
If AI wipes out humanity it will be Idiocracy not The Matrix
(Ok that was just trying to go over the top, too early in the morning)

It doesn’t inspire confidence at all
Fearing the future is like fearing progress. I am using AI as a tool to help people live a better lifestyle.
The AI as hero or anti-hero?
Omniscient or hallucinogenic?
Ruthless or bumbling?
Middling or schlock?
Oh, I guess these various "films" you meniton are mildly unsettling but my own skepticism is rooted in a little tale called I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM.
MOVIE OVER
We're already seeing glimpses of it with kids committing suicide because a chatbot told them to, or your grandfather thinking an AI image on Facebook is actually real.
But...yeah. Not A Good Thing, generally.
If its main purpose is an excuse to gather data, it must be sold.
Creating and surreptitiously releasing a super-virus would do it – no need for wars, killer robots, etc.
Thanks for providing context! 👍
But the terminator is fake concern, compared to actual real risks like deepfake porn, new forms of fraud, and other crimes that people will leverage AI to commit.
Terminator: Android OS
Terminator reboots frequently & the guys in the SkyNet control room push OS updates every couple of weeks. Wireless authentication issues plague the cyborg throughout its pursuit of Sarah Connor. In one scene, T reboots while riding a motorcycle thru LA traffic.
It can absolutely do good things when leveraged in the right spaces.
I’m sorry, I tried…
