What could go wrong
I think it is not too confusing once you start to understand that what many are 'auto-thrashing' over, is not AI.
AI was an objective of programming. One of the key factors of what they could accomplish was hindered by the reality that their "products" could almost inevitably be identified by human users as "not human." The key to this weakness was that their "products" could not articulate in the manner of a thinking human being, there were always expressive discrepancies, and weaknesses in formulating communications with human users.
Enter extremely clever algorithms (mathematical rule-sets) that inform the "programmed product" to more effectively communicate as humans do. Eventually the programs could speak fluidly... and their outputs seemed 'natural.'
Suddenly "marketing" went crazy... "See? it's like a person... a human intelligence." "Invest now!" "Look everyone! Say "Oooh," and register "awe"
as we do in the media!"
But it never was like a human intelligence, it doesn't even qualify as "artificial" intelligence it simply "speaks" well.... it just "generates natural language well."
Then "marketing said" ... "Never mind that! ... It can take over the world... It's scary.... it's powerful.... Invest now." ... and media followed suit.
... and here we are. There is no AI that we (the public) have seen.
It's a programming dream that might (I repeat, might) be achievable... but it has not happened.
