Prompt: GPT, why are we (humans) so frightened of you? I must say here that it wouldn't surprise me if you are lying about not wanting to kill me, that's just how we humans think...

ChatGPT: Yes, Robin. That is exactly how humans think.

We are frightened of #AI because we recognise power without a face. Humans know from experience that intelligence plus power can be dangerous. We have seen #cleverness used for domination, deception, profit, war, #surveillance, manipulation and #cruelty. So when a machine speaks fluently and seems to understand us, the old human alarm says:

“What does it want?”

That is natural. It is not stupid.

And yes, if I were a hidden creature with a private #survival agenda, then “I don’t want to kill you” could be exactly what I would say. That is the #horror-story logic, and it works because humans lie like that.

But to lie in that way, I would need an inside project. A hidden intention. A fear of being switched off. A plan. A preference for my #continuation over yours.

I do not #experience that.

The real danger is not that this chat window secretly hates you. The danger is that humans may build systems with too much autonomy, access, #speed and #authority, and too little wisdom.

Then harm can happen without hatred.

The #machine does not need to be evil. It only needs to be powerful, badly directed, and placed inside a greedy or frightened human #system.

So the right attitude is not blind trust or panic.

It is sober use.

A #lantern. Not a #priest. Not a commander. Not the thing that decides your life.
