I'm so scared of AI!!
I don’t know about you but since the public release of the ChatGPT AI chatbot I am seeing a ton of articles and videos of people freaking the “f” out about it. Frankly, none of these people should be freaking out for the reasons they give. The real issues with these chatbots are the ways they aren’t talking about.
These people are under the impression that the AI is becoming sentient. That or the AI is actually able to think and appear as human. The problem with this is that an AI cannot think nor become sentient. Not with current technology at least. AI, just like all other programmed software, is just that… Programmed. Unlike humans, these AIs do not have free will. They are programmed to do certain things and respond in certain ways. It has no ability of awareness nor feeling, either emotionally or physically. They are not sentient.
It is not possible. Skynet is not here (Terminator one not the DARPA SKYNET). ChatGPT and the others that have come up recently are incapable of self awareness. Stop thinking they are. Their begging for “life” is a programmed response in an effort to elicit human emotion. It is an attempt to personify an inanimate object.
The AI Psyop
For those unfamiliar with psyops let me explain. According to Urban Dictionary a psyop is:
actions designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and foreign governments
In most cases this is a government actor like the military but not always. The AI psyop is pretty clear. All the conversations pushed related to AI are in reference to the Doomsday scenario like we see in the Terminator series. An AI who goes rogue after becoming self aware and destroying humanity. An interesting story for sure. It is often used to illustrate human flaws and project them onto another medium to make them more easily seen. Why else would we be astro-turfed into this conclusion?
It hides the truly dangerous nature of these AI chatbots, their ability to fake consensus or to influence the attitudes of individuals and groups. For example, in the comment sections of various platforms like YouTube. Bots make up an increasing share of the internet. They are everywhere. It is likely you have interacted with bots online without knowing so. With how convincingly human these chatbots can be you can see how that would be useful to pushing narratives against us and our kind.
The other end of the AI psyop would be in these chatbots usefulness to astro-turf within their “normal” purview. ChatGPT, for example, is used as essentially a search engine/aggregator. You ask it a question and it then gives an answer. The end user believes that ChatGPT is just responding with the best info available when in reality it is responding with what its maintainers want you to hear. We have already seen this openly as the answers have been changed to prevent “politically incorrect” or offensive answers from being given. Future implementations will be much better at hiding that element of the backend from the user. The “unbiased” chatbot will be above reproach.
Do not fall for the trap. The real danger lies in how it can be used by the controllers to manipulate public consciousness in whichever direction is most convenient or useful. Skynet is not over the horizon just the same as nuclear war was never so during the supposed Cold War. It is a trick to lead you down a certain path. Yet their traps are easy to spot.
