Shivering prophecy of the future of humanity when AI "rules" the world

In the eyes of tech billionaires, the future of our species is clear. We will be an increasingly advanced society living in space, our every need fully and widely met by super-intelligent AI. Photo: @Glenn Harvey.

This vision may seem like science fiction. But around the world, a group of financial elites (tech billionaires) believe that such a superhuman future is inevitable – one where technology enhances human capabilities, and allows us to surpass our limits beyond what we have ever imagined.

However, science journalist Adam Becker has refuted this myth in his popular book “More Everything Forever.” Photo: @Vocal Media.

In a deeply researched and compelling account, Adam Becker delves into the limitations of AI, showing that this vision of the future is not only unrealistic, but also riddled with racism, sexism, and negativity of the most devastating kind. Photo: @SinteX AI.

Take the so-called “AI illusion,” for example, which is a term used to describe inaccurate information generated by AI chatbots that people can easily mistake for factual information. Large language models like ChatGPT frequently fall prey to these “AI illusion” errors. Photo: @RNZ.

For example, not long ago, Becker asked ChatGPT: “Is the Great Wall of China the only man-made structure visible from Spain? “No,” ChatGPT replied; “but other structures are visible from Spain, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the skyscrapers in Dubai.” These are clearly lies, but if you don’t think about it, many people can easily be fooled.

Such “AI illusions” will continue until a state-of-the-art AI platform truly understands the connection between words, and concepts, and the contexts it is queried about as input, writes Becker. Photo: @ZAWYA

Some tech leaders think the solution is simply to train AI on more data. But that thinking is wrong, Becker notes. Photo: @Business Reporter.

If the training of next-generation AI models is increasingly based on content taken from the internet, then the content, information, and faulty data created by the first-generation AI chatbots and then spread and posted on the internet can cause some later-generation AI models to collapse quickly.

Future AI will spread nonsense and untruths, and could exacerbate existing cultural biases in technology, as well as society, including hate speech, gender stereotypes, racism, and sexism. Photo: @Santa Cruz Works.

The book “More Everything Forever” argues that tech billionaires’ glamorous visions of a sci-fi AI future have distracted our attention from the real challenges plaguing humanity, such as global warming, massive social inequality, potential nuclear war, etc. Photo: @Xponent21.

These political and social problems cannot be solved by technology, Becker argues convincingly. “Technology cannot heal the world. We have to do it ourselves.” Photo: @Future of Life Institute.
