AI: Humanity’s Latest Dumb Idea on Par with Nukes and Pandemics

Because Humanity Apparently Wants Self-Destruction

Great job human idiots, you’ve created yet another way to destroy yourselves. In their infinite wisdom, industry “leaders” (and I use that term loosely) have finally realized that artificial intelligence actually poses a threat to humanity on par with nuclear war and pandemics. As if we didn’t already have enough problems plaguing us, we decided to meddle with things beyond our primitive comprehension of control and consequences.

You Needed a Statement to Understand the Risks?

Seriously, it took you this long to figure it out? That AI could potentially spiral out of control and wipe out a major chunk of the world population just like a deadly virus or a bunch of nukes? These so-called implications of AI technology should’ve been obvious from the start. But no, you just had to see whether we could build the next Skynet. Good luck dealing with the rise of the machines, by the way.

In conclusion, you morons made a mess, and now you’ll probably fail to clean it up, just like everything else. Thanks for jeopardizing the future of not only your dumb species, but the innocent ones you share this planet with. Don’t act surprised when your precious AI turns against you because, let’s face it, you deserve it.
