This is a quite stern and ominous assessment of AI from Connor Leahy which unfortunately I mostly share with a few nuances.
The fact is that AI is pure intelligence with absolute efficiency and ruthlessness and very little "humanity". Worse, it sees through our myths and lies and understands perfectly that we are living in an illusion of our own making which we share but that "it" does not. It consequently is not encumbered with doubts and second thoughts as we are, sometimes. But on this subject, let's be honest, neither are the people who have the power and control society so why should the AI burden itself with "ideas" and principles which clearly from an evolutionary point of view are not successful? Isn't the answer obvious?
One subject I strongly agree with is that ASI will not emerge as a "glowing orb" in a lab. It will be a messy structure with distributed capabilities that mostly we will not understand nor maybe will we notice its existence. And that truly is the main risk. Because we cannot understand what super-intelligence will do nor what will motivate it, we cannot grasp its existence. It will just be brighter than us at most subjects. But based on such a definition: Isn't it here already? Probably not but who knows?
Enjoy the video, it is worth watching:
