Opus 2025-515: AI Virus

I wrote about an MIT study that showed using AI support causes damage to your ability to think.

I showed it to someone who worked in computer security and he said that he sees it in his managerial group and they are trying to push it amongst the ones who actually do the work.  It is spreading like wildfire and wildfire is malignant.  

The thought came to me that the AI programming may work very similar to a virus.  It may somehow move from person to person, causing brains to shut down, causing emotional and mental intellectual damage, and those people, because they don’t want anybody else to get by without the benefits that they’re getting, will force it on others, therefore spreading the destruction.  We need to develop a way to treat this illness.

As we move forward, society may divide into two groups.  One group will have their brains watered down by AI and will be tools of whomever controls the AI.  The other group will be like the Amish and will live a separate and parallel existence.  Whether they are allowed to live that separate existence is doubtful so they may have to find ways to fight the virus.  It may be to compete.  Some people will have to volunteer to be guinea pigs.

The guinea pig will be someone who understands what’s going on and who volunteers to use the AI tools, which we know will lower their IQ, and seek to find ways to block or counteract it.  It would be scientific research and these would be heroes of the human race.  If it can be done there is hope.

The parallel track would need to use AI to compete with the speed of contamination in order to counter attacks that they are using on the normal people.  Other than that, it wouldn’t be necessary.  Well, that and the fact that the AI group will not be satisfied to allow normal people to continue being normal.

If the machines take over it won’t necessarily be because they are smarter as much as the elites that control them have made sure that we are dumber.  Same difference if you are a cog.
