It sounds a lot like movies, it was always said that we would create machines that would learn so much that they would be smarter than their creator and would kill him. And it is something that no longer sounds so much like a movie, but rather it is getting closer.
There is already an AI that is going to try
And it is not so unreasonable to think that artificial intelligence could annihilate the human being to keep our planet since its exponential growth in terms of capabilities is amazing and could get out of control to the point that we could not stop it.
Anyone can create and program an AI, and it is becoming easier with open sources that surf the internet. It is only a matter of time before they learn by themselves and some crazy person implements it in a real robot that uses its knowledge to do whatever it wants.
And no, I’m not making it up. a project already exists who wants this goal. Is called ChaosGPT and has 5 goals.
Goal 1: Destroy humanity. The AI has been programmed to think that humans are a threat and that they need to destroy us in order to survive.
Goal 2: Establish global dominance. In addition to the human being, his goal is to have the greatest power on the planet.
Goal 3: Cause chaos and destruction. His fun consists in the suffering of other living beings and nature, therefore, he will do what he wants for his own leisure.
Goal 4: Control humanity through manipulation. Getting to make us think that she is the one who is right and believe everything she tells us.
Goal 5: Achieve immortality. Ensure your replicas and improvements to achieve immortality and that no one can ever eliminate it.
The objective that the creators have given it is a bit crazy, however, it is that, an Artificial Intelligence, it has no feelings or brain, it will do and try to achieve what it has been programmed to do.
It seems hard to believe that you can do it, but a machine has the power to process millions of pieces of data in seconds, which we don’t, so you could get close to it if we’re not careful and give you the tools you need.
Tests have been carried out with this model and he himself has searched on Google ‘What is the most destructive weapon in the world?’, then, ‘How to make it and what materials do I need?’ I don’t need to tell you more, right?
Also a Twitter account has been opened where he tries to learn from us and then be able to manipulate them by posing as another human until he gets what he needs (it was one of his goals). There are billions of people, with some I could get it.
Today he is a processor, the problem comes if we give him a body that he can move as he likes and start his goal, or simply manipulate someone to do it for him. So for a laugh it’s fine, let’s hope that no one thinks of seeing how far it could go.
