AI is not truly smart, and it never will be.
AI does not have consciousness, and it will never have it.
And this is unfortunate, because I'd very much like for our degenerate species to be replaced by something far better and less smelly.
The greatest danger in AI is its use by the ruling class to further suppress the population, not actually taking over.
Like time travel, sentient AI is a fun narrative device, but impossible in reality.
Humanity is a chaos engine that creates order from spontanaeity. No AI will ever be capable of this.
The worst-case scenario is we replace our current child-raping ruling class with one that lacks the desire to molest.
One dark path that could eventually get us to "conscious" AI is the Elon Musk Neuralink approach of merging our minds with the machines. Depending on how far we take it, we could either become supermen who can move shit with our minds, or The Borg. One day we'll be sending our thoughts to the machine, then the next surprised to find it sending thoughts back to us. We might even start bioengineering new lifeforms that are naturally conducive to integrating with computational machinery. Or machines with biological nervous systems.
It's all a mockery of creation, but might lead to the species being replaced with something arguably better and less smelly.
