Kurzgesagt: have we sealed our fate with AI?

You've heard the proverbs before:

  • The Devil's greatest achievement was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
  • I'm not worried about the AI that passes a human-intelligence test: I'm worried about the AI that deliberately fails it.
Is this curtains for us? Are we really going to keep barreling down this road, creating smarter and smarter AI, pushed along by the felt imperative that If we don't do it, someone else will?


Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
—Orange Catholic Bible, Dune
