When your Amazon Echo decides your crazy and calls in the SWAT team or starts gambling online with your savings account number from a tip from online-Einstein......

The worst case are drones that choose by themselves who to shoot at.

Hi Cabe,

The real threat of AI is that it enables people to stop thinking and just use the machine generated solutions.

I find this prospect as totally frightening.

It soon becomes like gun control. Who decides and where do you stop!

The AI solutions can and probably will be taken to extremes as people rush to use them, even though they have no idea how they work.

All that most people want is to separate themselves from the potential "guilt" of having to make a decision.

Such a prospect should scare everyone. Once we delegate our decisions to machines, the sooner we become slaves to the machines and any "contrary" thought and decisions become persecuted.

Just my opinion,
