I mean that makes sense. I guess people are just speculating if in 50 or 100 years or so AI will become advanced enough to have ambitions and evolve on their own.

Like how idiots, bigots, and fascist posts on Twitter, get reposted and amplified so you're seeing those posts more than the more logical ones. This is why content moderation is such an important check to these major social media platforms.

What if AI is just a black mirror of humanity? Our darker reflection. Chatbots for example use our input conversations to fuel their own via mimicry. Whatever people are chatting to them about reflects in their dialog patterns.

This is the best case scenario honestly. Once they surpass us there's no use for us.

We're already seeing destructive algorithm downward spirals appearing on social media. This was a major concern on Instagram as some young girls were looking at exercise content and were recommended anorexia positivity content and even suicidal content which damaged their mental health. There's currently a lawsuit against meta for not doing enough to restrict these recommendations. They might add a way to verify if the user is old enough and can double check if the user still wants to see this content but it's still dangerous. Idk if this is due to a malevolent AI but it did happen through inept security instillations and destructive algorithms.
