For someone like me who keeps a close eye on AI every day, it’s easy to see why AI skeptics are sitting back while wearing the “I told you so…” expression.
Far too many instances of hackers using AI to power their cyberattacks, terrifying cases of autonomous AI agents going rogue to bypass internal/external security protocols at prominent companies and a flood of backlash from residents against the AI data centers taking up space in their communities have painted AI in an even worse light.
When you add all those cases to all the primary arguments AI doomers bring up, there’s enough evidence from their end to be convinced of just how harmful AI can be.
I wanted to know what those recurring beliefs from AI doomers are, while also seeing what sort of rebuttal an actual AI tool can offer in response to those statements. I chose ChatGPT for this latest experiment and walked away with a deeper understanding of the arguments brought forth by AI doomers and the opposing responses brought to each one.
I’m used to hearing that an AI model that outperforms humans in the areas of science, strategy and persuasion could easily outwit all the safeguards we place upon it. And at some point, our dependence on something so powerful could lead to a situation where we’ll no longer be able to control it.
ChatGPT’s response pointed out that scenario is not all that plausible since there are a bunch of real-world blockades that could prevent it:
