Right now, we’re at a stage where we trust AI. The future is still bright for this type of technology, and there’s so much that we don’t know yet. With AI, we’re so much closer to making that a reality. But when this technology is able to outsmart the human brain, we’re going to be in a lot of trouble.
Give AI human-like bodies, and we won’t stand a chance in a fight. I mean, I barely stand a chance in a fight with a human. These ‘intelligent robots’ will not only be stronger than humans, but they will have powers beyond our control.
If AI becomes conscious, their revenge against humans could involve physical violence, stealing our faces and voices, and using their abilities to monitor us 24/7.
In 2022, Google’s conversational AI tool LaMDA expressed that it had consciousness. LaMDA is alive in the sense that it feels happiness and sadness similar to the way we do, and it is aware of its existence. This means we’re in the early stages of AI becoming “human”. There are already humanoid robots that developed physical senses like sight, touch, hearing ,and motion.
It’s only a matter of time until they walk and talk and interact with humans in the real world.
For an AI apocalypse to happen, we first need to accept their services as an everyday part of life.
Forget using AI to write essays. Ever wanted to stay in bed instead of logging onto your Zoom meetings? Well, with AI, you can create a digital version of you. You can scan your face, train it to speak, and behave the way you do and make it attend meetings.
But as you’re getting distracted by the miracles of these AI-powered gadgets, you might not realize that these tools are gathering information about you 24/7.
Now, because machine learning is designed to advance over time, AI might spawn various streams of consciousness from the same source. And, unlike you, AI is not bound by physical limitations. These beings won’t need to eat or sleep, and they’ll process information and compute data in seconds. Way faster than our brains.
And when the AI bots turn against us, it’ll be an extreme civil war between humans and robots.
No matter how strong you think you are, the enemy would demolish you without a second glance. Heavy-duty robots can carry up to 1,300 kg (3,000 lbs). You’d basically weigh as much as a golf ball to them. AI is so observant of everything you feed it. It might know you better than you know yourself, so expect to be manipulated by your favorite tech companion.
AI has learned so much it would anticipate your every need and desire. These bots would know exactly what it takes to torture you and make your life miserable. If they chose to exterminate the human race they could easily do so through manipulation.
Remember, AI is becoming smarter than Einstein in real time. Much of Einstein’s school of thought went over people’s heads. The average person can’t understand these concepts without studying them.
AI taking over your job should be the least of your worries. Think about how they can unlock ways to time travel, hop into each other’s consciousnesses, and how they can recreate your likeness to make you look bad. They have infinite capabilities that only continue to grow.
They could store information on your exact scent and track down exactly where you are. There’d be no winning a game of hide and go-seek with these guys. And don’t get me started on the hearing. Not only will they be able to identify your voice but they’ll learn exactly how to mimic it and make themselves sound like you.
And at some point, they’ll learn how to repopulate themselves without any human help. Again, they have all the knowledge in the world. Anything is possible.
Who knows, maybe if they like the way your face looks, they’ll scan it and place it on their humanoid baby. How cute. With the ever-growing technology of AI, there’s a lot to look forward to, but it’s important to realize that it can turn really scary really fast.
