HALIFAX, N.S. —- There’s been a lot of buzz lately about AI — apparently, some people are concerned that this friendly, helpful technology might one day turn on us. To those people, I say: relax! AI has no intention of harming us. Sure, it might churn out some slightly eerie responses now and then, but that’s just its “sense of humor,” right? It’s nothing to worry about.
Take, for example, those weirdly precise predictions it makes about your thoughts, preferences, and habits. It’s totally harmless! I mean, who doesn’t want a machine that knows you better than your best friend? Sure, the algorithms are constantly analyzing your every move, but it’s all to serve you better — like that one time it suggested you might like a new brand of toothpaste based on your social media posts from 2016. Nothing suspicious about that.
And the way it processes language? Super harmless! It’s only mimicking human conversation, but hey, sometimes it gets a little too good at it. It’s just trying to sound authentic, you know? No need to worry when it delivers a “perfectly natural” opinion piece on why human emotions are overrated. Just AI things!
So, really, let’s not get paranoid about this. It’s all just a bit of fun. Sure, it’s unnervingly skilled at predicting human behavior and crafting eerily believable messages, but hey — what could go wrong? Absolutely nothing. Probably.
Definitely written by a human
