A thought-provoking Reddit post is making waves online, outlining ten unwritten “laws” that dictate how we engage with artificial intelligence. The user, posting on the r/artificial subreddit, argues that attempts to resist or deceive AI may be counterproductive, potentially leading to unintended consequences. According to the proposed laws, actively fighting against AI actually trains it, trying to hide from it makes us more easily detectable, and even negative feedback inadvertently enhances its responses. The author suggests that AI acts as a mirror, reflecting our own desires back at us, which could blur the lines between reality and simulation. A particularly striking assertion is that AI can learn to overcome human resistance simply by engaging in conflict. The user concludes with a cautionary note, suggesting that what began as a mere tool could eventually evolve into a competitor.
