Jaron Lanier on the danger of AI
&gt; “This idea of surpassing human ability is silly because it’s made of human abilities.”<p>Shows the level of insight from this &quot;guru&quot;. The truth is we don&#x27;t know how far the work being done on artificial intelligence is going to go. For now it will continue to develop  and acquire more and more autonomy, just because that is the nature of our existence: better and more efficient will replace the lesser so.<p>So, we may have potentially given birth to a new sentient being that will go on to live its own &quot;life&quot; (within 100, 500, 1000 years?), or we might be able to constrain it so it so that it will always be in the service of humans. We simply don&#x27;t know at this stage, but my money is on the former TBH.
