Artificial Intelligence Out of Control: The Apocalypse is Here | How AI and ChatGPT End Humanity

The story of humans began a long time ago.

Three and a half billion years ago protein molecules floated around the ooze called the primordial soup. Then something happened and a molecule made a copy of itself.

And then another copy and another. Soon these molecules arranged themselves into something called a cell.

Then cells clumped together and multiplied. Organisms were created. Over the next three billion years, the organisms became more complicated and more diverse.

375 million years ago one of those organisms crawled out of the sea.

4 million years ago hominids emerged. Hominids had large brains and advanced cognitive abilities. They could reason, communicate and cooperate.

200,000 years ago, homo sapiens, modern humans appeared. They developed agriculture, organized into civilizations and became masters of the planet.

The story of humans began a long time ago. But all stories end.

And according to many leaders in business, science and technology: we're in the final chapter. The part of our story where we finally go extinct.

And there's nothing we can do to stop it.

Sorry, downvoted for ridiculous clickbait title. This kind of exaggeration is just not helpful to either the AI discussion or the actual apocalypse, whatever form that may take.

It's actually harmful because it puts off anyone who gave this a shot from actually listening to more reasonable discussions in the future.

I like how science is mute on the subject of the past, and yet some people talk like they can view the past like they just hopped out of a time machine. Hopefully, people who preach these brain-dead visions of the future are the ones who will soon be extinct.

@readbeanicecream I thought this was a parody and fun video. But he is serious. The topic is not clickbait, as it is what the content is about. I give him that. Meaning, its not just a dumb title, the content is dumb too. I like how the video is structured and narrated, edited. It's good quality. Sadly, the content is not.

However we die, it will be at our own hands.
