That is the least of our worries, Covid was made in the Lab by humans. AI will eventually be able figure out how to make a version 10x or 100x stronger. And give you, or someone else, the instructions of how to make it in a low tech lab. Wont even need a rogue Skynet AI. Humans are dumb/greedy/evil enough on our own. We have summoned the demon...
And supposedly at one time, and maybe still, you could find how-to plans to make an A-Bomb. So where all the A-bombed out cities? Or even the threat of any? Well other than by Little Kimmy or OrangeMan's buddy Wack-A-Doo PuuPuu.
So here is an example of AI ChatBot losing its "job". (MorningBrew) AI Air Canada ordered to pay customer over chatbot error Gary Hershorn/Getty Images A Canadian tribunal ruled in favor of a customer who was given incorrect information about bereavement fare discounts from an Air Canada chatbot, a rare win for humans in the ongoing battle against our rising AI overlords. In 2022, Jake Moffat asked a chatbot for help booking a last-minute flight to attend his grandmother’s funeral. The chatbot told Moffat to book the flight and request a refund within 90 days. However, Air Canada denied his ~$450 refund, saying bereavement abatements cannot be applied retroactively. Air Canada initially offered Moffat a $200 coupon and promised to update the chatbot, but Moffat decided to take the airline to a civil tribunal. The airline’s arguments included: The chatbot was a separate legal entity “responsible for its own actions.” Moffat should not have trusted the chatbot and should have double-checked the info. One tribunal member called the arguments “remarkable,” which sounds like the polite Canadian way of saying “ridiculous.” Call them r Canada because they’ve dropped the Ai. After the ruling, the airline appears to have removed chatbot services from its website. Finally, a robot that lost its job to a human.—DL
Going back to my earlier assertion, who will be supporting the economy when everyone's laid off? If you think about it, it ain't just blue collar jobs that's at stake here. Most of the white collars will get the axe as well. AI will very likely replace bankers, doctors (including medical researchers), and even lawyers and academicians. Suppose such a day comes when everyone is out on the street, who will support the damn economy? Better yet, can we even reverse the tide?
