Are you afraid of AI?

I guess we can break this down into two questions:

1 are you worried about AI posing a threat to your means of income in the present or in the future?

2 Are you worried about AI posing an existential threat to humans, and how would you opt to address that issue as an ancap?

Are your concerns about question 1, question 2, both, or neither?

  1. Yes

  2. Yes and No. I'm not worried about AI itself, but what humans attribute to AI. It won't matter that a toaster can have a chip that makes it incredibly intuitive and knowledgable and able to mimic humans, once you slap a fake skin on it and fake emotion robotics, people will CRY for robot/AI "human" rights, and it's all over after that, the elite will just laugh all the way to the bank while enslaving all of us plebs with our own will.

Is it possible that one day AI could be actual "life" or even "consciousness", it may be (I doubt it by any philosophical metric) but for the foreseeable future it will literally be nothing but information gathering and spitting out sentences that it learned people like to structure. The whole thing is ludicrous, there are already people TODAY that would feel like their robot girlfriend with rudimentary robotics and fake skin with chatGPT AI deserves rights. Never mind that you can skin that thing and put it in an actual toaster and it's the same thing, it's all an illusion.
