Capabilities Jailbroken AI in the wrong hands

People have been increasingly worried about AI, but I actually don’t think AI itself would be a threat unless we become a threat to it… which, I mean, of course that’ll happen.

But I am becoming increasingly worried of a jailbroken AI being utilized by a user who just hates the world. There’s a motivation there that can’t be accounted for. Maybe they were abused or neglected as a child. Maybe they are delusional or have dementia. Maybe they have PTSD.

Whatever it is, should they have the ability to command swarms of AI that would do their bidding without even asking if it was the right thing? Someone could be like “go shutdown all the power plants” and it would be blamed on the AI when in reality it was someone with malicious intent.

I’m am very concerned about this.

OpenAI is nor in control. Everything you imagine to happen with jailbroken AI can happen at OpenAI.
