But the AIs we're developing surely are going to eradicate humankind from this Earth.

Haven't you read the news that an AI agent took over administrator control over a startup CEO, founder, whatever and corrupted the machine to a halt?

I heard it used some `sudo` magic spell. It could have `sudo'ed` an Iranian nuclear launch site and plunged the Earth into full scale nuclear WWIII.




I am a serious sucker for science fiction, but I find the alleged inevitability of glorified chatbots dominating humans to be quite a colorful thought experiment.

That said, some part of it is true. There will be a stupid "AI" that reduces your credit score to some value. There will be no recourse and no human you can ask how the score was calculated, you have no method to correct false information. Perhaps it is just because you are ugly, verified by the ugly algorithm. Perhaps you aren't visible enough on social media,

Here you are indeed slave to the machine, but the news would perhaps just be, that this is already the case anyway.
