Don't listen to the 'godfather of AI'

Geoffrey Hinton is using fantasies to distract us from the real harms of AI

lmao is he making big predictions again

Meanwhile, AI synthesises slop and gibberish that hijack systems, like throwing mud at a machine and getting it stuck. Shouldn't he be more worried that his pet is way, way more stupid than humans? But then how can the "godfather of AI" admit he's created stupidity, na?
