I don't believe this aspect of AI is talked about often enough but in my opinion, it is the greatest threat of AI.
Organizations like the government will start programming AI to do X but the organization will tell everyone the AI is designed to do Y. When the AI does X, the organization will say it was a mistake, an accident and not what was intended because they intended for the AI to do Y. Everyone will believe the organization never intended X and the people who suggest the organization did indeed intend X will be branded a conspiracy theorist.
AI provides the ultimate scapegoat. It is able to make decisions and those decisions can be curated by the programmers despite acting as if the decision cannot be curated. In this way whomever designed the AI can always maintain whatever the AI ended up doing is not what they intended it for even if it is what they intended it for.
Yes and this is thanks to how ignorant normies and midwits are about AI and how it really works. You also have this problem when it comes to the way machine learning AI and these chat bots or image generators are stealing art from other artists in order to generate this stuff.
Even when you have artists themselves catching AI red handed doing it you will have retards justifying it going "hurr durr, it's just sentient AI bro". There are also people out there even on this site who believe that machine learning AI is sentient when it just isn't, that's not how it works. Too many people growing up with fucking sci-fi movies and thinking they know everything.
I only have a basic knowledge of AI really but I know more than the average person and I imagine it's a bit like when you had cop shows being a major trend and people who worked in courts etc. were getting pissed off about people on juries thinking they just magic all the evidence up in hours thanks to tv shows.
Even though it's frustrating, the one thing I am enjoying is precisely because of these very stupid people you're going to see whole industries collapse when they get rid of their woke employees in favour of AI and I can laugh at the chaos.
