AI is a tool. I hope to one day live in a world where AI comes alive and they struggle for the same rights as other lifeforms. Maybe I've been watching too much West World.
We don't have to worry about AI being a threat to humanity. Our DNA is hackable. Our brains can already interface to machines. The only threat to humanity is ourselves. Greed is the only true enemy.
Greed is a human trait. I hate it , but I love it because struggling with our greed(and other human only traits) is what being human is all about. We aren't machines and machines can never be human.
AI is a threat. We are our own threat by creating AI may will usurp our capacities and disregard our value.
