ИИ съест экономику изнутри. А потом запустит ядерный апокалипсис

Когда Илон Маск говорит об опасности ИИ, он рисует картину восстания машин. Терминаторы. Скайнет. Красные глаза в темноте.Это не страшно. Это глупо.Настоящий ужас не в том, что роботы с красными глазами придут убивать людей. Настоящий ужас в том, что ИИ потихоньку, незаметно, но уверенно сделает всё, чтобы люди сами себя убили.
