AI is not as scary as you think.

News feeds have recently been inundated with terrifying headlines about AI. Everyone is talking about the rise of the machines and how AI will fundamentally change our lives. Headlines are screaming that AI will take everyone’s jobs, create new religions or even kill everyone. This buzz has reached a crescendo thanks to a new petition signed by dozens of prominent researchers calling for a moratorium on AI development and the rise of ChatGPT in the public sphere. And some people are freaking out. <ul> <li><a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/security/a42675408/superhuman-algorithms-could-kill-everyone/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Superhuman Algorithms Could ‘Kill Everyone’ in Due Time, Researchers Warn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/03/29/1166896809/tech-leaders-urge-a-pause-in-the-out-of-control-artificial-intelligence-race" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Tech leaders urge a pause in the ‘out-of-control’ artificial intelligence race</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/04/artificial-intelligence-government-amba-kak/673586/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">AI Isn’t Omnipotent.

In fact, if we use history as a guide, it likely will never come close to the heights that people imagine it. Artificial intelligence is just that. It is artificial. Can humans create something greater than ourselves? People have long dreamed that we could, but so far, we have yet to achieve the heights we imagine for ourselves. <h1>Our reach far outstrips our grasp</h1> Where’s my flying car? That is the question that is often bandied about on tech forums about the development of technology. The question is a meme of sorts, and it points to the fact that people have long imagined remarkable technologies that never materialize.

For thousands of years, people’s imaginations have always been more significant than their abilities. In this, human’s reach far outstrips its grasp. <a href="https://grantpiperwriting.medium.com/ai-is-not-as-scary-as-you-think-f298e33e6f72">Read More</a>
