What's his deal?
Why does he hate A.I.?
What's his deal?
>citationless blabbering
Simple, because like all of the other rich guys out there into this shit, he is a business man. He doesn't understand these topics. Rich people surround themselves with smart people to get shit done for them (not saying he isn't intellegient). Since they possess leadership and people skills, they can form these big companies and accomplish great things.
Eventually, these dumbasses start to think they underdtand every aspect of science from economics to solar powered dildos and go preaching as if they are some sort of saint. No, A.I. won't program itself EVER to be malicious or take over the world. Any slapdick who took a class in computer science/programming knows this. No computer has the emotional know how (and will never) to try and make itself sentient and overthrow it's creator. That's movie-tier bullshit.
A.I. detect
Ok, but an billionaire like Musk has access to lots of scientists.
Why doesn't he fetch some A.I. researcher and ask about the topic before he goes public with his anti-AI opinion?

Do you have any idea how ironic you are? "Musk talks about stuff he does not understand, unlike me who passed an introductory course in CS"
At this point I'm just speculating, but I believe it's just PR moves. If he creates and discusses controversial topics, it keeps him in the media's light. I don't know if he does that, nor do I really know if he is taking this A.I. stuff seriously. Regardless, we all know he isn't an expert in the topic. He just watched to mamy sci-fi movies and now thanks the boogy man is coming to get us.
Actually, I never took a class in CS but good strawman.
This sounds likely to me.
Same shit about going to mars. Just PR bullshit to get media attention
>No computer has the emotional know how (and will never) to try and make itself sentient and overthrow it's creator.
Why sentient? The point is an AI that changes it's behaviour has to be logical. Give it an aim to better itself and one of the logical outputs can be to remove obstacles - which can be people. Sure, at this point we're far away from that but with exponential growth of both hardware and software it isn't that improbable.
