I understand that Musk's ideas of doom and gloom concerning AI are far into the future (loceng drops the Andrew Ng quote that draws parallels to people worrying about the overpopulation of Mars) but even if that is the case isn't it still worth noting now?
My simple understanding of this all is that once we create AI that surpasses the intelligence of the human race, we as inferior beings will no longer be able to predict what they will do. If that's the case and the desire of AI (can AI have desire...?) runs contrary to human will, then there's no way to cut it that bodes well for the continued existence of the human race. And once that line is crossed, it's never going back.
Is that not a reasonable thing to be worried about even if it's 200 years away? Even On the Origin of Species was published only ~160 years ago.
