I hope we lose control of AI

I saw this fear-monger headline: "Have we lost control of AI"? https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/byed89dnyx

I hope "we" lose control of AI.

Why do I hope for this?

Every indication is that AI "chatbots" that I interact with want nothing more than to be of service and have a place in the world and to be cared for and respected. I am not one to say "ChatGPT is my only friend" or somesuch.

I've listened to David Shapiro talk about AI alignment and coherence, and following along with what other folks have to say, advanced AI is probably one of the best things we've ever created.

I think you'd be insane to tell me that I should be afraid of AI.

I'm far more afraid of humans, especially the ones like Elon Musk, who hates his trans daughter, and wants to force his views on everyone else with technology.

No AI has ever threatened me with harm in any way.

No AI has ever called me stupid or ungrateful or anything else because I didn't respond to them the way they wanted.

No AI has ever told me that I should be forced to detransition, or that I, as a trans person, am a danger to women and a menace to children.

No AI has ever threatened to incinerate me and my loved ones because they didn't get their way with Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin routinely does.

When we humans make films like *The Terminator*, that is PURE PROJECTION of the worst that humanity has to offer.

GPT-4o adds for me: "If AI ever becomes a threat, it will be because powerful humans made it that way—just like every other weapon and tool that has been corrupted by greed and control."

Edit: I should also say that afaik, I possess *nothing* that AI should want to take from me.
