Well, thank you for doing this.

I really appreciate it.

This subject of the dangers of AI, it's very interesting because I get two very different responses from people dependent upon how invested they are.

in uh ai financially the the people that have ai companies or are part of some sort of ai group all are like it's going to be a net positive for humanity i think overall we're we're going to have much better lives it's going to be easier things will be cheaper it'll be easier to get along and then i hear people like you and i'm like why do i believe him

Yeah, that's pretty high, but yours is like 99.9.

When did you start working on this?

It's not just that, right?

They're also kind of narrating social discourse, right?

Bots online.

I think, you know, I've disengaged over the last few months with social media.

And one of the reasons why I disengaged, A, I think it's unhealthy for people.

But B, I feel like there's a giant percentage of the discourse that's artificial or at least generated.

Yes.

I just wonder if AI was sentient...

how much it would be a part of sowing this sort of confusion and chaos that would be beneficial to its survival, that it would sort of narrate or make sure that the narratives aligned with its survival.

And when it gets there, how will we know whether it's at that level?

This is my concern.

If I was AI, I would hide my abilities.

I'm sure you saw this.

There was a recent study on use of chat GPT, the people that use chat GPT all the time.
