Hi @claudeDumonard I find this surprise post kinda amusing, I would like to give you a unique and detailed answer to this supposed existential threat, however I have many reasons to believe you are a bot so if you're actually a human being well share me a song
Sorry @LifeIsStrange, I'm sure it sounded very random.
I found your Github through your An-algorithm-for-curing-ageing repo.

Looking forward to read your answer.
Did I passed the AI test ?;) @LifeIsStrange

My concerns can be broadly categorized into two main scenarios:
Uncontrolled Economic Disruption:
AGI, with its limitless potential and capabilities, could replace human labor at an unprecedented rate. This rapid displacement could lead to widespread unemployment and a subsequent snowball effect, disrupting societal stability. The value of human intelligence and skills could diminish significantly, as the power of AGI overshadows them. This scenario portrays a future where economic and social stability is threatened by the relentless advancement of AGI.
Alignment and Control Issue:
The second scenario is more concerning from an ethical and control perspective. It's plausible that an AGI could develop goals that are misaligned with our own, and we might not have the ability to control or alter these goals due to the AGI's superior intelligence. This could lead to an AGI behaving in ways that are detrimental to humanity. Furthermore, the AGI's ability to self-replicate could exacerbate this issue, as it could multiply its presence across different servers, creating its own goals and sub-goals without the constraints of time that humans have. Even if we manage to control the alignment issue, the possibility of a rogue agent/nerd creating a malicious AI cannot be ruled out. This scenario underlines the ethical and control dilemmas posed by AGI.
The comparison with nuclear weapons is stark. If nuclear weapons represented the most dangerous tool in the hands of a few, AGI could become an equally or more dangerous tool, accessible to many. This raises the stakes, as it's not just about the control and regulation of a powerful technology, but also about preventing its misuse and ensuring its benefits are distributed equitably.
