Reply to comment by Aphrozen in AI has designed bacteria-killing proteins from scratch – and they work by Ok_Champion6840

Who's to say it's not a long-term release thing? Or is designed to only kill human biology? Or even worse, its designed to react to a signal that, if activated, kills the host. And we all carry around tiny transmitters in our pockets these days.

AI is the end of humanity, in one way or another. We already have it generating music for us and creating art for us with seemingly no effort to us. Now we have it creating our cures?

Humanity is doomed.

I’m sure they said the same thing about the internet— hell, I think when the nuke was invented. But we adapt and overcome as we always will. Besides, we really aren’t important enough for that level of interest. Vast majority of the world do basic jobs, go home, drink, watch tv, and sleep. Nothing of importance worth controlling

This is different though. This is talking about creating something that thinks

That is no longer a tool or a weapon. That is something sentient to me.

Then I guess we better adapt or die as a species— AI is inevitable, just up to us to be ready for the better or worse of its fallouts
