    Introduction to AI Scenarios

    • 🤖 The first scenario is the Hollywood depiction of a sentient AI takeover, where a superintelligent AI system takes over or kills all humanity.
    • 🚫 This scenario is considered less plausible and less immediate than the other two concerns.
    • 📊 The second scenario involves humans using superpowered AI to control or destroy humanity, which is more plausible and immediate than the first scenario.
    • 🚨 The third scenario, considered the most terrifying, is where humans offload their mental abilities to AI, leading to a decline in human intelligence and capabilities.
