AI - should we be concerned?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Considering how nascent AI really is, should we be alarmed that is is already showing an ability to deceive and to self replicate?

It's a genuine question, i don't know much about this field, but just feels like we're running headlong into what could potentially be quite dangerous technological developments.

The genie is out of the bottle now.

Just one more sign that the world/humanity is going to hell in a handcart.

Not that I'm pessimistic about the future at all 🤣

I'm more worried about Trump generally, although I understand that he is dismissive of the European cautious attitude to AI.

Newsnight had a rare interview with the two Abba boys and showed them a composition by AI based on Abba's songs.  Benny said it was nothing like them.  I thought otherwise....

AI seems to be good at regurgitating stuff ''n the style of'', but I'd be more impressed if it produced a totally new/original music genre...
