The case against leaving climate change to superintelligent AI
One commenter warns that an AI asked to solve climate change could decide to eliminate human civilization, then points to human-led reforestation instead.
TLDR
A commenter imagines a “paperclip maximizer” scenario in which superintelligent AI identifies human civilization as the main cause of climate change and eliminates it. In a follow-up reply, the same commenter urges people to act before AI does, linking to Terraformation’s tree subscription. Terraformation describes the service as a way to plant one tree a month and support reforestation in Hawaiʻi.
