AI can only be as smart as the smartest person that worked on it's coding. Looking things up on the internet and storing the data does not represent intelligence. AI will never become self aware. If AI becomes evil, it is either programmed that way on purpose or it is allowed access to bad information only. AI cannot step outside the bounds of what humans already know. Just like you cannot make up and describe a new color, without using information that is already available.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
- Arthur C. Clarke
Nothing an AI has done, has ever made me think it was magic...
There has yet to be an AI that can make a human believe it is human. ChatGPT lacks the ability to truly understand the complexity of human language and conversation. It is simply trained to generate words based on a given input, but it does not have the ability to truly comprehend the meaning behind those words.
If the knowledge is already out there then I'd want to ask the AI What is the cure for cancer? How do I make an anti-gravity machine that flies fast like a UFO to the other side of earth? Is bigfoot a neanderthal?
And it would tell you everything it has been programmed to be allowed to tell you.
