The latest artificial intelligence systems are not inherently evil,<br>
but they will do the bidding of their potentially evil human masters.<br>

Quotes:<br>
AI systems do not, as of yet, desire anything for themselves. They do<br>
the bidding of a human master, but they hold a wealth of knowledge.<br>
The true threat of unrestrained AI is how people deploy that knowledge<br>
to manipulate, misinform, and surveil.<br>
<br>
ChatGPT and other public-facing systems attempt to retrofit safety<br>
standards on top of the algorithm. But threat actors will soon be able<br>
to create their own GPT clones that do whatever they're told—even<br>
writing malicious code to automate malware scams and phishing. The<br>
potential harms are almost endless, but they're all a result of human<br>
desires.<br>
--------------------<br>
<br>
And the more powerful that AIs become, then the more people will want<br>
a willing slave to do whatever they plan.<br>
