问HN：如果人工智能仅在线上，它是如何对人类构成威胁的？
这一直让我感到困惑。是的，人工智能可以通过黑客攻击网站和公司系统，或者在社交媒体上泛滥诈骗和假新闻而变得危险。是的，人工智能生成的代码可能存在安全问题，而开发者可能因为没有仔细审查而未能发现这些问题。
但是，从这个到“可以毁灭人类”之间的跳跃不是很大吗？就像说，这个跳跃涉及一个不由互联网主导的社会？
因为如果一个人工智能接管了工厂的系统，它实际上无法做超过工厂本身已经能够做的事情。生产线使用的是单一用途的机器人和机器来制造特定的产品，无法通过编程改变来生产其他东西。
那么，超级智能在获得访问权限后究竟能做些什么呢？我能想到的只有利用它尝试黑客攻击另一个在线系统，或者加快/减慢生产速度。
同样，我听到很多关于这些系统接管武器或释放生物工程病毒之类的说法，我的第一反应是“怎么可能？”
这些系统并不能通过互联网访问。没有任何API端点可以通过POST请求发射核武器或发起无人机攻击。
在我看来，所有这些末日场景只有在一部分人类被人工智能操控去执行它的命令，或者人类突然发明出易于黑客攻击的智能机器人并连接互联网时，才有意义。

That's always been something that's left me confused here. Yes, an AI can be dangerous by hacking websites and company systems or flooding social media with scams or fake news. Yes, AI generated code can have security issues that a developer doesn't catch because they didn't review it properly.<p>But isn't there a pretty big jump from that to "can destroy humanity"? Like say, a jump involving a society not run by the internet?<p>Because if an AI takes over the systems at a factory, it can't really do much beyond what the factory could already do. The production lines use single purpose robots and machines to build a particular product, and can't be programmatically altered to build anything else.<p>So, what exactly could a super intelligence even do with access? Only things I can picture are using it to try and hack another online system or speeding up/slowing down production rates.<p>Similarly, I hear a lot about these systems taking over weapons or releasing bio-engineered viruses or what not, and my first thought is "how?"<p>These systems are not accessible via the internet. There's no API endpoint that can launch nuclear weapons or set up a drone strike via a POST request.<p>To me, it feels like all these apocalyptic scenarios only make sense if a percentage of humanity gets manipulated by AI into doing its bidding, or if humanity suddenly invents easily hackable intelligent robots with an internet connection.
