It can be safely assumed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is created by someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is accountable to someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is very powerful, but not all-powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is big, very big, growing big and fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI appears to have come on the scene suddenly, by surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI appears to have goals, uncomfortable goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI may appear to be (become) human, even superhuman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI may appear to be on track to control our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is scarey, perhaps rightly so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is here, but AI is not a ‘being’, not alive like claims of encounters with assorted monstrous creatures and aliens on ufo’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI may be compared to (described as) an image with seemingly supernatural powers—an image representing a real, live being that created it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI may be scarey, but not to be feared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— AI is dangerous, but the creator and operator of AI is far more dangerous—
the ultimate dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started with “It can be safely assumed:”
I have listed some of the assumptions that can be made about AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stop here, just short of stating what AI could very well become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many readers will guess where I’m going with this, but my purpose once again is giving you something to make you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, you can find my goal played out clearly in fourteen years of writing on this site.
