Comfort over freedom? Your choice

Have we’ve been the ones creating AI all along by putting ourselves out there ? We’ve all allowed social media and technology get to know us. The algorithm also known as AI has been slowly training how to get to know you better than you know yourself.  We all have been under AI study to learn everything about us and to outsmart us.  From pictures to our most intimate things have been shared through many channels of social media. Most of us are guilty on putting too much out there, and I’ve heard some said that they have nothing to hide so nothing is to worry.  In a way that’s very true, most of us are just ordinary people who go on with life. I watched an Oprah special on AI and what does it mean for us. I’ve read some things about AI, but most that I “know” about it if you want to call it that, is  what I’ve seen on sci-fi movies.  None of the founders of AI have actually explained to the entire population exactly how it will all play out for the best of humanity. The reality is that they don’t even know themselves.  The founder of OpenAI Sam Altman said himself that Artificial Intelligence is moving faster than they anticipated. AI is learning and evolving in a pace that I’m not sure if it can’t be stopped now. I’m sure AI will be a lot of help doctors identify diseases or heart failure before they do. Also AI will be a lot of help for teachers. Just like the internet has evolved and has made our lives a bit more easier and comfortble, I'm sure AI will be the same. The difference between the internet and AI, is that Artificial intelligence simulates human behavior, while the internet is a network that enables communication and information sharing. I want to say that in the last 5 years the internet has gotten smarter by allowing the algorithm aka AI has  gotten to know us a little or a lot better than us. We already deal with feeling like our phones are listening to us or when we click on social media and suddenly that's all we see for the next day or two. We all feel like we are being watched or heard. AI is learning from all of us and again some of you may think is not a big deal and I'm on the same boat in a way. We have nothing to hide, but what if hiding something wasn't the issue but giving away all your freedom of choosing for yourself. AI will be watching our every move and listening and learning from what we put out there. Artificial Intelligence will know you better than you know yourself in a few years or less. Imagine not someone but something that doesn't have human instinct will know you better than you know yourself and will dictate your everyday life. An artificial machine that will decide for you based on common sense and rational and not human instinct. Are you willing to give up your freedom of thinking for comfort and "peace"?. We are allowing something that can control all of our aspects of life just to be more comfortable. Some will be ok with it, but most won't. As dysfunctional and toxic human race is, this is still our planet. We have allowed social media and the news divide us. We have given power already to others who are human like us and look how chaotic has been. History doesn't lie. We give power to something that isn't human, then it will be the end of us. I hope there can be regulations for AI, and I won't lie, I am excited to see what cool things AI does bring to the table. I'm also worried for us as a society once if it hasn't yet, AI realize that we are just a cancer for the planet. Will we then be extinct ?  Welcome to the future, where you been?
