The article captures my thoughts and puts them into words better than I could.
From my viewpoint, a major weakness of current AI is the indiscriminate nature of the training material. A lot of garbage is going in, and because AI cannot discriminate garbage from gold, they both look a bit brown, a lot of garbage is coming out.
At some stage, in order to make AI useful long term, the training will have to be restarted with curated material, which will add billions to the cost of AI, simply to cover the cost of competent curation.
To me, the biggest short term risk is two-fold:
a) Government decision-making based on ideology rather than actual events, using AI hallucinations as a base for decisions, lead to instability in either the economy or international peace.
b) Foreign governments not based around the same ideology or not dependant on AI forment decision making in countries covered in a) to destabilise their economy.
Again, from my viewpoint, USA is heading rapidly down route a) and hardly needs the help of Russia and China in b) to mess things up. The Duke of Wellington once said 'Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake', so R and C can sit back at the moment, but will have their plans if USA looks like getting its act back together. The western governments need some very competent and gifted people if the AI bubble is going to deflate softly.
