AI Apocalypse is a Myth: What You Should Really Be Worried About
Fact & Fiction in The Fear Of Artificial Intelligence
Did you know that an AI recently discovered 40.000 new possible chemical weapons in just about six hours?
Or that an AI-powered clone’n’slaughter facility is being built while you are reading this?
Both are actual threats enabled by AI technology. But instead of worrying about it, people rant about ChatGPT and AI-Art and speculate about a malicious, omnipotent AI overlord. What nonsense.
Humans are very good at being malicious overlords themselves. Of course, with the appropriate technology, human cruelty and stupidity reach new heights. If you dare, read on about the AI stuff we should really worry about.

What a coincidence!
