The fact that AI is “not perfect” is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM. Idiots across the world, and people who we’d expect to know better, are making monumental decisions based on AI that isn’t perfect, and routinely “hallucinates”. We all know this.

Every time I think I’ve seen the lowest depths of mass stupidity, humanity goes lower.

What is ever perfect, how can you tell?

It’s a tool. Just like any other tool: if you use it in stupid ways you might get hurt or cause harm.

The problem, as always, seem to be human to me

I agree, a reasonable person wouldn’t have taken weapons and gone to that warehouse looking to steal a robot body for an AI. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t reasonable and get endlessly positive reinforcement without any human interaction. I do think that the problem is far more human than technical.
