They’re not escaping users control, they’re fucking computer programs. People are using them irresponsibly. If you accidentally run someone over in your car, the car didn’t “escape your control”, you just did a shitty job of controlling the car. It’s not the same thing. (Fuck “AI” btw)

    The main problem is that now people without software engineering background now have the ability to do some very complex things without having to have any knowledge about what they are doing and what risks they are taking. Imagine just handing out forklifts or excavators to anyone who wants to drive one. No license needed just off you pop. You’ll see a massive spike in dangerous accidents. Yes, people are using AI irresponsively, but they often do so because they were handed an incredibly powerful tool with zero oversight or education in this matter. And the thing is, AI can act pretty autonomously nowadays. It’s not rare that if you tell an AI that it should do one thing it stumbles into a chain of three other tools and ends up doing something else entirely. Again, something that can be counteracted with skill and knowledge, but we are talking about people with neither.
