Yeah well we should be planning ahead so that these bad scenarios don’t happen is my point. We need to be in control of AI, not the other way around.

What’s that mean

AI is supposed to help us not take over for us. I’m worried about AI doing everything making us dumber.

I wasn’t saying you’re claiming that, my bad. I was just offering my response to how I think about ChatGPT.

I disagree about thinking though. Thinking isn’t simply processing information (which our computers already do). And being a person (which I know you aren’t claiming chatGPT to be) requires awareness and subjectivity. Which clever AI algorithms are not.

Whether we ever could create self aware, sentient, conscious AI, I have no clue.

Yes but it has no awareness that it’s doing that. No understanding. It does not have thoughts.

But it’s important to remember intelligence is not the same thing as consciousness or sentience. I worry about AIs fooling us into believing they’re sentient and all that comes with that, when in fact it’s just clever algorithms.
