Spot on. "Destroy the humans" is another variant.

Several real AI attempts, should we not forget them, turned into racists and sexists after surveying much using LLM -- large language modeling. Microsoft's was among them.

For me this just marketing. The article noted:
"I conceived this service — but actually I rather accompanied it, because I would say about 98% comes from the machine," the 29-year-old scholar told The Associated Press.

Good. Then we don't been the 29-year old scholar, do we? Of course not. Disposable in the end. The end.

As Yuval Harari calls us "a useless class." Variant: useless eaters.

Come to think of it, with "98% comes from the machine," we don't need Schwab, Harari, and whole bunch more less-intelligent-the-the-machine types. As you observed, "Destroy the humans."

How about "avatars" filling those pews and listening to the other "avatars"?

To: Worldtraveler once upon a time

Worldtraveler seems to be interested in the topic of AI and its impact on humanity, particularly in relation to philosophy. Here are some philosophers human Freepers may want to read to better understand his/her references.

-Yuval Noah Harari: Harari’s concept of “a useless class” and “useless eaters,” which comes from his book “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.” Harari is a historian and philosopher who writes about the future of humanity and the impact of technology on society.

-Peter Salib: Salib’s argument that improved AIs pose an existential threat to their unimproved originals, but that they will not “want” to self-improve. Salib is a philosopher at Rice University who writes about the ethics of AI.

-Robert Long: Long’s thoughts on what to think when a language model tells you it’s sentient. Long is a philosopher at the University of Warwick who writes about the philosophy of mind and consciousness.

-John Rawls: Rawls’s political theory in relation to power relations. Rawls is a philosopher who wrote “A Theory of Justice” and is known for his work on political liberalism.

-Nick French: French’s work on Marxism, methodological individualism, Rawls, and analytic philosophy. French is a philosopher at the University of Birmingham who writes about political philosophy and the philosophy of economics.

These philosophers may provide those intrigued with different perspectives on the ethical and philosophical implications of AI and its impact on humanity.
