…the idea that narrow AI could mutate into AGI was considered science friction, but the speed with which AI chatbots are learning can only get faster. Look at how an AI Drone worked in a recent test battle (a test battle the US Army now deny ever happened). The AI Drone had been told points to ‘win’ the game were derived from killing ‘enemies’. The AI Drone controller kept telling the Drone to spare ‘enemies’ so the AI Drone attacked and killed its ‘controller’ because the AI Drone worked out that to ‘win’ the ‘game’, all it had to do was kill its controller so that the controller would stop it from killing ‘enemies’ and winning the game! It then attacked the communications towers to ensure another controller couldn’t take over and stop it from killing ‘enemies’ so it could ‘win’.
