Won't it matter who does the programming? If you ask AI to sort out issues in the gender wars, won't its answers reflect the ideological input of the programmers? The same thing for having it tutor in history for example. And even in supposedly scientific fields like medicine where it will push certain kinds of therapies determined by the scientific orthodoxy. That is already happening with gender affirming care for dysphoria. It is also happening in the realm of so-called scientific journals.
So from where I sit, your view of AI would create a frightening and far-reaching totalitarianism. I hardly consider that making the world better.
That's the primary issue with AI--the programmers. AI will be a reflection of THEIR values and THEIR intentions. A computer need not become self-aware in order to have the ability to destroy the people its programmers want destroyed.
I was stunned that the author's naivete in asserting that AI war will have fewer human casualties. That would only happen if the programmers TOLD it to minimize human casualties. Since when have human beings earnestly tried to PREVENT casualties (except to their own side) in war?
I agree. It would make killing more efficient with way more casualties. The wars very well could be shorter because there would be nobody left to fight.

Exactly!
