I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. I understand that people see danger, but in fact there is no other option for us than to follow evolution. All major companies are embracing AI already and it's being used/pushed upon their customers as well.

There's danger in copying stackoverflow code as-is as well. But would that mean we should not use info that is shared on SO?

> In worst case, I have to use search engine to grab info with is immediatly mirrored.

I've never heard anyone saying they use a search engine "as a last resort"

>I have piles of my own programs, notes, docs.

For me, working that way would only succeed if I would need to repeat a project that is say 90 percent the same as any of the hundreds of previous projects, and stay with a programming language like C or fortran.

But if it works for you, great as well.

Im not sure if this is evolution really.. Maybe.. divolution? Why? Because AI tools like that are "FINAL" tools. I will repeat myself, but I will say it again. Smart people around the world develops those tools, and they provide them as IS for anyone (smart, dumb, adversaries, etc). Most people have NO clue how they work, but those tools does the job so who cares. NOW, the problem. All kind of "managers" and "politicans" who DO NOT care about knowledge are happinly grab all those tools on enpower them even more. And once those tools will be able to sustain themsels (one step before of true AI) you all guys/gals are obsolete. And I mean it really. No joke. It happened before, it will happen again. Because those who are in power have NO respect for you.

Wars and genocides happens because some small minded dickhead in power try to pour sweet on his ego or fullfill his ambitions and sends milions of people to war. Sad is, that all those people just DO IT, no resistance.. like WTF?

And this is the main risk. If you do NOT get it, im out of words.

Also, I have no problem being replaced by true AI. I am mortal so, I will die eventually. And that new AI will be different from humans. Will it be better. I have no idea, but lets give it a chance. Humans had it, and failed miserably.

I'm confused... Let's make this more concrete... Putin sends hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight to their death by means of... AI?

Hundreds of years ago there even was no AI and there were... less wars?

Yeah, it seems you are confused. Guys in Power cannot do anything by themselfs. Usually they are no-skill people, hence went for power to give orders. Now imagine situation when you have an AI that can provide you with any data and solution. All you need is to provide a query and you will get answer with explanation. Next step is, it will send command to automated factory to actually produce the thing. Now, all those people in power, why they will need scientists and engineers for? They never listen to them unless it will directly benefit them. Is sad that people lack such an imagination.

All those scientists and engineers just provide tools for their own doom.

Im dont with this thread, I cannot explain it better anymore.
