'What's your p(doom)?': How AI could be learning a deceptive trick with apocalyptic potential

It started as a dark in-joke. It could also be one of the most important questions facing humanity.

@lardmotel Do you think AI will ultimately fuck us over (either by nuking the planet or stealing artists' jobs) or do you believe it's just marketing hype over nothing?
@MaxCorp I think get rid of the name AI. Then describe what it actually is (a card game with words). Then you can ask will it nuke people (what a fucking stupid question) or take jobs (yes it will do a crap job of phone service lines). Start with what is there. #ai #SuperParrot
@lardmotel Yeah my understanding of it is just glorified computer algorithms similar to those seen on Youtube and Spotify for many years.
