As human beings we don&#x27;t always reach our potential.<p>As a child I had problems with other children picking on me, I was suspected of having autism due to social issues, I was given an IQ test and scored a 189. I was high functioning an in 1975 there was no such thing as high functioning autism, that wasn&#x27;t discovered until 1994, so I got diagnosed with depression instead. Child Psychologist told my parents to put me into a school for gifted children, but they put me in public school instead where I struggled and my brain worked 10 times faster so I was always ahead of the class in learning and bored waiting for people to catch up. I was still bullied and picked on and this interfered with my learning. The same thing happened when I went to college and had a job, I was bullied and picked on. I never reached my potential and my mental illness was one of the reasons why and people picking on me was another reason, and had I been in a school for gifted children I&#x27;d be able to reach my potential better.<p>I developed schizoaffective disorder in 2001 and it screws with my memory and focus and concentration. I ended up on disability in 2003. My career is basically over but I still have a potential I never met.<p>What good is a high IQ if you can&#x27;t reach your potential to use it?<p>We keep hearing talk of an AI that is smarter than a human being, but we haven&#x27;t seen one yet. Our current AI programs are not as smart as a human being yet, but they can do tasks that put human beings out of work. Just having a perfect memory, and being able to do fast math equations makes an AI in the &quot;Rainman&quot; category <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt0095953&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt0095953&#x2F;</a> even if it is not as smart as a human being.<p>I guess what I am trying to say is that an AI doesn&#x27;t have to be as smart as a human being to be dangerous. Just like the Google Maps app that drives people off a cliff or into an ocean. An AI can make robocalls and sell a product and put people out of work. You can replace almost any line of work with an AI, and then it gets dangerous when a majority of people are unemployed by AIs that aren&#x27;t even as smart as a human being.<p>I&#x27;d like to see a personal AI that works for poor and disabled people to earn money for them, as they run it on a personal computer. Doing small tasks on an SEO marketplace using webbots for $5 each and 100 tasks a day for $500 in a Paypal account to help lift them out of poverty. I know there are people already doing this for their own personal gain, but if the AI that does that is open sourced so disabled and poor people can run it, it can help solve the problem of poverty.
