Is AI just a tool?

Somebody thinks. That AI is just another wheel. The AI is something that we use, and that’s it. But. The big thing. In AI, it is that. It’s far more. Than just some kind of tool. The AI is a flexible model for information. AI is like a human; it just doesn’t create information from emptiness. It processes information. That it gets from different sources. The system involves an algorithm, the program that collects information from sensors and databases. Another thing. In. AI is a computer program. The AI collects and processes a lot of data. But the problem is that. It uses databases. It doesn’t actually know if the information is false or true. 

In the same way, AI doesn’t think for itself about whether something is moral or ethical. The user teaches AI. And. The user selects what is right or wrong. And that is dangerous. There are people who are not normal. And if those people train an AI agent. That thing can turn into a catastrophe. The AI itself doesn’t cheat. It’s programmed to cheat. 

But humans either automatically know. Is the information. That we get true or false. Another thing is that the AI has an addictive psychological ability. Users select AI. That they feel most comfortable. This means that programmers do a lot of work to create AI that pleases users. And that is the thing that sometimes gets too far. The AI is a tool that is coming. The AI. It can have similar effects to net porn and some computer games. The AI can addict people. And they spend too much time with it. So, they get a headache. Sleepless and many other things, when they create things with AI.

 AI might look and feel like. A real human. It can discuss with people. And that forms an illusion that there is a human on the other side of the net. The AI. It can mimic feelings. And give advice. That feels very effective. But there are limits to the AI. And its use for things like a therapist. The AI should not have access to give psychotherapy. And the second thing is this. There must be some limits on things. That the user can ask the AI to do.  If a person asks AI to complete violent requests, they should have access to, or the order to, call a psychologist. 

There must be some kind of protocol that allows AI to pick dangerous people, like serial killers and suicide candidates. We know that there are lots of people. Aho asks the AI something that they would not dare to ask a real humans. The AI is a tool that can be a very good customer service agent. But the same thing that makes it a perfect customer service agent makes it a bad psychotherapist. The psychotherapist must dare to say if something is not as it should be. 

The AI has an algorithm that pleases the user. And in some cases. The AI tries to please the user at the wrong moment. The AI must have access to say “no” or refuse to do things that people ask. In the cases of depression, the AI that pleases the user can cause horrible things. When we say that AI is safe, we mean that the AI is safe for regular people. We don’t normally think that some very dangerous people can use AI. In those cases, the AI can incite people to make decisions. That causes bad things. The AI is a tool. That has a very big effect.

The AI that mimics humans can influence political decisions.

Coordinated swarms of AI personas can now mimic human behavior well enough to manipulate online political conversations and potentially influence elections.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

The multi-agent AI can act as a swarm. That can influence large-scale internet conversations. That can affect political decisions. The thing. Like an ability. To use the AI-agents. As. A hacking tool. That makes it possible to hijack things like media. Those systems learn very fast, and they can mimic certain people’s behavior. The material that the AI can use to create the agent. That mimics. The person determines. How well the AI can mimic the person. 

This kind of AI can be used as a virtual second body. The person who has that kind of system can use that agent as a tool. That allows the user to play anything. That user wants. The user can play a woman, a man, or a dog. or a cat. The AI agent can be combined with another AI agent with different abilities. This means that the AI is like a Swiss Army knife. 

There is a possibility that AI. Which mimics humans. Can play humans and affect politics. There is only a little possibility that. The AI can control political control at the state level. But things like pre-elections. That these are internal affairs of the political movements might not be as highly secured as the state-level elections. 

“Newer large language models paired with multi-agent systems make it possible for one operator to run a whole cast of AI “voices” that appear local and authentic. Each persona can speak in a slightly different style, reference community norms, and respond quickly to pushback, which makes the activity harder to spot as manipulation.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

“The swarm can also run massive numbers of quick message tests, then amplify the versions that change minds most effectively. Done well, it can manufacture the feeling. That “everyone is saying this:” Even. When that consensus is carefully engineered.” (ScitechDaily, The AI Threat You’ll Never See Coming Is Already Talking to You Online)

Another point is where the AI can influence election campaigns. Are. The TV broadcasts. Artificial intelligence can replace the camera image using virtual reality and virtual characters. When. People should see their candidate on TV- the AI hijacks the system, and then replaces real persons. B using virtual characters. The swarm of those virtual characters. It can mimic humans. The character that we see. It can look like. A real person. That thing. Can be used in private. Or in public life. The customer service can use the human-shaped AI agents. 

But there is a possibility. Those people. Who. Go to a remote meeting. Uses the AI agents as representatives. This means that those people can do anything other than be in the meeting. A similar AI character can be used in hacking operations. 

But. The things. That the character makes. They are remotely controlled. Trained AI can make a swarm.  Of. Limited language models that can chat or talk through the telephone. Those things can form an illusion that everybody thinks that way. Each of those AIs can give an individual-looking answer. When we think of a possibility. That these kinds of language models could slip into real conversations, we always forget one very important thing. There are many people on the net. Who. Wants to influence politics. This means that this kind of actor can create an AI swarm. That can give. A very big influence. To people who watch the debate.
