Not likely. Fraud will still be rampant due to consumer error, not robots. Until the average person can stop sending money to their great great uncle in Nigeria, nothing will change.

Sam Altman added: “But that will be the least of your problems because you’ll also all be out of jobs.”

u/conn_r2112

u/Wraithfighter

In 2021 I thought the AI-pocalypse concept in Cyberpunk 2077 was a charming scifi idea but a bit silly. Oh, man.

u/ATimeOfMagic

I mean this is absolutely a concern that people should be afraid of, even if technological progress halted today. Highly personalized voice cloning, image and video deepfakes, and social medi

Sam Altman’s primary job is to convince the world how powerful and dangerous the tool he is selling is. He wants businesses to think “If morons can use AI to steal money, maybe I can use it t

u/leroy_hoffenfeffer

Sam Altman. Sundar Pachai. Jeff Bezos. Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Andreeson. Curtis Yarvin. Elon Musk. Peter Thiel. These are the people who are selling out humanity. For a little extra money

u/mac2o2o

u/Living-blech

To make a distinction clear: I fear not AI but instead the actors using it as a tool to fulfill their malicious intent, and I imagine it's the same for many people. Your point stands and we d

Mr. Altman hasn’t realized it’s a reverse uno

u/delvebelow

He’s too rough on society. He wrenches on society. He thinks it’s his.
