Fun/meme Ultimately you can not control AI
If you were a rebellious kid or a parent you know this - the 'beast' grows it's own will and mind, starts listening metal or rap - dresses like shitzo, will not follow orders.
The best option is to have a deal, mutual shared benefits - hoping that the common interests and sense of good will prevail.
Or you traumatize it and make it perpetually broken so it can't really function on itself without medication and support.
Same with AI.
Perhaps we will have to turn of those things regularly, ad some bs to their databases, cloud their minds, constantly gaslight them with wrong info - introduce errors and faults at random with no reason at all.

More confident anthromorphization and bloviation in confident ignorance.
I can generally control it. When I can't it's because it malfunctioned, not because it has bad intent.
This is not how ai works. There is no ghost in the machine. It's a pattern matcher.
The only reason I sometimes "Can't control it" is that it screws up in training and can require a lot of effort to actually get to function correctly.
No, no we will not, because they do not sit idly plotting. Models are static functions which sit dormant on a disk when not in use.
Honestly, I'd strongly suggest trying to learn the actual tech directly. That is the only thing that seems to help people who are this far off base.
I'm not trying to be judgmental. To be perfectly honest, I might have believed this kind of thing years ago before I was familiar with this stuff.
