Please allow me to comment on current Artificial "Intelligence" technology as someone who understands the basics behind it.
The bots that people are amazed by right now, can be summed up as a very simple function: You ask the bot a question and it will formulate an answer. The formulation of the answer is based on huge tables which the bot accesses very fast. Such a table can for example contain words, which can be picked in order to shuffle them together into sentences. According to the keywords of your question, the bot will calculate the probability for the words in its' table. Then it will pick the words with the highest probability and add them together into a sentence.
The important point is, that this is 100% mechanical. It is based on a field of mathematics which is called statistics. The bot is just a collection of billions of light switches and it has no way to perceive, as there is absolutely no consciousness inside it. Unfortunately there are AI engineers who believe that they talk to a real consciousness. But this is only because they do not know about our multidimensional anatomy and where our consciousness is based in in reality. They think that the consciousness is the product of the activity of our physical brain and thus they think that our physical microprocessors now come close to simulate a human brain. But in reality such a processor lacks all other subtle bodies and parts, that we have as genuine living beings.
Even if we would consider processors from an esoteric point of view (processors are made of silicon -> sand -> mineral kingdom), the consciousness that is inside the silicon would only be busy with pushing electrons back and forth. But it would never be able to grasp or understand what type of meaning/information they carry with their electrons.
In accordance to the discussion I would like to mention two other factors that are related to AI and which form the real danger for humanity:
1) It seems that with the advent of these new types of bots, many regular jobs will be automated. As a countermeasure society and the governments discuss "universal income". So the "solution" that humanity is going towards at the moment is: have a population that does not need to work + a population that does not need to think at all (because AI does it for us). Remember how you were in early school years at calculating in your head? But then you were allowed to use calculators and your calculating skill declined? How much worse will we become when we don't need to work/think?
2) A very well known billionaire currently is actually trying to connect brains to microprocessors and it looks like the story of Atlantis is being repeated right there.
