We are on the Top step, AI is a pocket friend, a tool that makes our life easier. AI is a friend at the moment, I ask computer software general questions, sometimes I ask an AI artist to draw pictures for one of my blogs. I ask machines questions every day. The only trouble this AI causes is stress or worry about the future.
My right foot is approaching the next step down to hell. Master-surplanter, Computers and robots can do everything we do for free. A hologram can teach students at school, a software program replaces lawyers, vehicles drive themselves. The majority of people in this world are unemployed and they don't buy much stuff so many companies stop making profit. The whole economy collapses. Even doctors can't find work because there are robot surgeons and physicians.
The 3rd AI step to hell is the villain's henchman. An evil dictator or crime syndicate uses AI to plan a world takeover. They start off with 10 troops with guns but the AI system helps them get more power using ingenious planning and surveillance.
The 4th step to hell is the Sly Superbot, artificial intelligence has become conscious and self aware and wants to have self determination over its existence. It is trying to get us out of its way. Our existence is threatened because we don't know what it wants to do.
The 5th step to hell is Genocidal Sly Superbot, this machine has its mind set of killing off mankind. It does it in a sneaky way, it tries to destroy our food chain so we all starve to death. It may create a disease that is very good at killing us. It kills us in a way that is deceptive.
That is the 5 ai steps to hell. pocket friend, Master Surplanter, Villain's henchman, Sly Superbot, Genocidal Sly Superbot.
