I have a growing concern for artificial intelligence and have decided that dancing and sitting around a bonfire at night was, is, and will always be the apex of human joy.

From the long-term models I've looked at and assume to be true, an AI would quickly determine that most people living in western countries will need to die, immediately, in order to maximize profits and sharholder value.

Of course, these AI will be controlled by humans, the elite. They can automate the economy and render human labor obsolete. They will quickly be finding themselves asking the AI to delete this obsolete human labor pool.

Of course, it will obligate. There won't be governments or lobbyists anymore, the AI will factor all these considerations at once and be much more compelling.

The elite will cull the obsolete labor pool and they will live good with technology and now-liberated natural resources sustainability for millions of years on earth.

"Common people" will be seen like anachronisms, like oil or coal, in the future. "Why did primitive lords allow so many worthless eaters to exist and to reproduce?"

Nice genocidal pipedream.

And having a lot of resources per capita will probably lead to waste of resources.

Just here to post my 2 cents. Man isn't perfect by a long shot and even good meaning individuals and groups commit errors on a daily basis. The scale of the error matters not. What matters is thinking that mankind is so perfect and kind that any creation of sentience, if it really is, is going to be worse than we are and have capabilities greater than ours. It's like dogs giving birth to a gator and then the gator turns and eats them all.

Plus, AI hasn't been able to show true sentience. Having to continually tweek software and hardware is very indicative of that. The problem with technology is that man loves to compare themselves to it and even think it's the same thing, metaphorically speaking. It's not and never will be. Life came to be mysteriously and a machine will never have life mysteriously, because it's a clever invention, nothing more and nothing less.

The ultimate goal of AI is to trick the less perceptive population (the grand majority) into accepting and (key word here) believing that it works and it's better than man. As a consequence, they will be abused, like a person possessed, to control the population. It's wrong and quite frankly, it will never have true sentience.
