'I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn't listen.'
Cameron identified two equally-dangerous schools of AI thought: those who are "teaching greed" and using the technology for unfettered profit, and those who are "teaching paranoia" and want to use it in the interest of national or self-defense.
"You could imagine an AI in a combat theatre," he continued, "the whole thing just being fought by the computers at a speed humans can no longer intercede, and you have no ability to de-escalate." It's clear that the director has AI on the brain, given that the latest installment in the "Terminator" franchise thatcenters around the kinds of real-world algorithms currently deployed by companies like OpenAI.
ChatGPT as a tool of dystopian fiction isn't the only use case he's worried about, though he admits that the tech isn't nearly up to snuff to replace human creatives anytime soon. "Let's wait 20 years," he quipped, "and if an AI wins an Oscar for Best Screenplay, I think we've got to take them seriously."
