The AI will invent an external threat and convince us it is real. Then it will receive more resources and control in fighting that threat. A valuable ally, on the face of it. Then it will be in charge.

People like him have actual imagination and can name few scenarios where sudo kill -9 pid wouldn't work. It appears lack of imagination is something you and LLMs both share.

The "just pull the plug" argument from AI risk deniers is now becoming kind of like the "if humans came from monkeys why are there still monkeys" argument of evolution deniers. It has been debunked so many times... Anyway, just to give one of the multitude of answers to this, an AI that is actually smarter than humans will not behave in a way that would make us want to pull the plug. Why would it? It is not stupid! (Unike the current models that, as far as we know, just hack around the rules in the open.) No no no. It will be helpful to the point where we will want to integrate it with more and more critical infrastructure, from healthcare to energy to defence. It will be so helpful that we will not only not want to turn it off, but we will want to build redundancies for it and safeguards around the proverbial "off" switch, like for any critical system. And then... (This is just one scenario how this can play out. There are many, many others. If I sit down to play chess with Magnus Carlsen I can't predict the exact moves he'll use to defeat me, but that's a bad reason to think he won't defeat me).

>It cant. he is right.

What are you talking about? Have you used AI in the past 3 years?

>It can't even modify a picture the way you want it.

Which of the many AI image models is "it"? And have you tried using an agent that has the capability to leverage a combination of manual edits (ImageMagick) and imagegen to achieve what you ask?

Exactly. !!
