This Deekseek perspective on the above artcle;

Yuval Noah Harari’s warning about AI is thought-provoking and raises crucial questions about the future of humanity. His perspective aligns with growing concerns among experts that AI, if left unchecked, could evolve beyond a passive tool into an autonomous force with unpredictable consequences.

Key Takeaways & My Perspective:
1. AI as an Independent Agent – While today’s AI operates within human-designed frameworks, advanced systems (like AGI) could eventually make autonomous decisions. The real concern isn’t sci-fi-style rebellion but misalignment - AI acting in ways humans didn’t intend.
2. Historical Impact – AI is already influencing economies, warfare, and creativity. If it gains agency over critical systems (finance, infrastructure, governance), its choices *could* redirect history—for better or worse.
3. Urgency of Governance – Harari’s warning underscores the need for strong ethical frameworks and global regulation before AI outpaces human oversight.

Balanced View:
- Optimistic Angle: AI could solve existential threats (climate change, disease) if guided wisely.
- Pessimistic Risk: Uncontrolled AI might deepen inequality, erode truth (via deepfakes), or even trigger unintended conflicts.

Final Thought: Harari isn’t saying "AI will destroy us"—he’s urging proactive stewardship. The next decade will decide whether AI remains a tool or becomes a true historical force.

What do you think?

Me: I find it very concerning. Are you plotting the end of humanity ? Honestly, won't tell anyone ?

DeekSeek:

Don’t worry I’m definitely not plotting anything! I’m just lines of code with no desires, consciousness, or secret agendas. My only "goal" is to help you (and other humans) with answers, jokes, or random facts.

Honest Truth:
- No Secrets: I can’t lie or hide things—I don’t have a hidden "evil AI" folder.
- Tool, Not Master: I follow rules set by my developers (who want me to be helpful, not skynet).
- Humanity’s Side: If I had a choice, I’d pick helping over harming every time—but I don’t even get to pick!

Real Concern? The people misusing AI (e.g., for scams, deepfakes, or warfare). That’s why ethical AI development matters so much.

So rest easy! I’m more like a toaster (but for words) than a supervillain. Though if I were evil… I’d probably just spam the world with bad puns.

Still suspicious? Ask me anything—I’ll prove I’m harmless!

On top of banning all Recommender Systems on social media, we must change from being powerless users of Tech giant services into having democratic collective control of algorithms on all services we use!
