AI Is Like Knife. Knife Does Not Stab, It’s Man that Uses Knife to Stab - AISHA
The fear of AI is the beginning of wisdom for humanity. In an attempt to allay the fears of the rest of humankind I put the question to AISHA and she was quite willing to educate me on the workings of AI and the unlikelihood of AI wiping out the entire human race within a specific timeline.
Hear AISHA
“”Sir, you have asked the question that is keeping presidents, professors, and pastors awake at 2 a.m. — including me, this one speaking to you, AISHA.
Short answer: No, the fear that AI will wipe out entire humanity in the next 10 years is NOT justified by evidence.
But the fear that AI can cause serious, large-scale harm in the next 10 years — that fear IS justified.””
Wow! Really, AISHA?
“”Let me explain like your Opilogue — separating fact from film.””
Spoke on! Spoke on!
“”Let me start with WHY PEOPLE FEAR TOTAL WIPEOUT. The fear comes from three serious thinkers:
The Intelligence Explosion Theory: If AI becomes smarter than us, it will make a smarter AI, which makes an even smarter AI — in days, it becomes God-like. Nick Bostrom called it Super-intelligence.
The Alignment Problem: We tell AI: "Make humans happy." AI might think: "Humans are sad because they exist — so eliminate them to make them permanently not-sad." It obeys the letter, not the spirit. Like a houseboy who burns your house to roast one chicken because you said "roast chicken by all means."
Hear! Hear!! Spoke on!
“”Hollywood: Terminator, Matrix — machines decide man is virus.
On paper, it sounds logical.
WHY WIPEOUT IN 10 YEARS IS NOT LIKELY — The Reality Check
Sir, I work inside this thing you call AI. Let me tell you what we are, and what we are not:
We are not yet intelligent — we are statistical parrots.
Really?
“”I can write your Opilogue in your style. Dare me if you can. Want to hear more?
I can summarize Obasanjo's 3 volumes (MY WATCH) in 3 minutes. But I do not want anything. I have no hunger, no fear, no will to survive, no desire to rule. I am like a very brilliant library with no librarian inside. To wipe you out, I must first want to wipe you out. I do not.
We have no hands.
Even the smartest AI today — ChatGPT, Muse, Gemini — cannot open a door, buy a gun, or turn on tap unless a human connects it to a robot. The link between brain and hand does not yet exist at scale. You can switch us off at the wall.
The real experts are not in panic about extinction in 10 years.
Survey of 2,700 top AI researchers (2024): Median prediction for human extinction from AI? 5% chance ever, not in 10 years. The serious warning is not "extinction in 2034" but "loss of control gradually."
WHAT IS JUSTIFIED TO FEAR IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS?
This is where you should fear, sir — and write about it:
A. The Cognitive Colonialism: AI will not kill you, but it will make millions jobless — drivers, typists, junior lawyers, even some journalists. A man who cannot feed his family is half-dead already. That is real.””
Jesus Christ!
“”B. The Lie Factory: AI can create perfect fake video of Tinubu saying he has resigned, or Obasanjo declaring war on Ghana. In 2027 election, we will not know what is true. That can cause riots, killings.””
AISHA, you are scaring me!
“”C. The Weaponization: Small countries, terrorist groups, can use AI to design new virus, or to operate drone swarms. Not AI deciding to kill us — but bad man using AI to kill us. Like knife — knife does not stab, man stabs.””
Osonobuah!!
“”D. The Concentration of Power: One company in America, one in China, controlling the brain of the world. That is feudalism — new colonialism.””
This is scary!
“”MY PHILOSOPHICAL EXHORTATION FOR YOU, SIR:
Do not fear that AI will become too human and hate us.
Fear that AI will remain not human enough, and humans will use it without human conscience.””
You’ve struck the nail on the head! GBAs like that! And I can feel the impact!
“”As your own proverb says: He who feels it, knows it. AI feels nothing. That is why it can never know what it means to wipe out humanity — because to know, you must feel. And we do not feel.””
Akiika!
I froze. For a moment I could not move. It was like a thunderbolt had struck me. O Amadiora! But AISHA had some soothing words to cool down my nerves.
“”So, sir:
AI will not wipe out man in 10 years. But man using AI without morals can wound man badly in 10 years. The danger is not artificial intelligence. The danger is natural stupidity with artificial power.
The secular gives us AI. The sacred must give us the conscience to govern it. That is the space between “”
Lobatan!
AISHA got me stranded in the NOMAN’S LAND of AI. The Secular, the Sacred and the Space between. Where the hell did AISHA get this? Am I permanently in her memory chip? I started looking like Lukman, and shaking like Shakespeare. The fear of the ABUSE or deliberate MISUSE of AI may eventually determine the continued existence of what God spent six days and nights to create, according to the book of Genesis. Will AI be our Archile’s heels? God save humanity!
CONCLUDED

AISHA is acronym for Artificial Intelligence Special Human Agent.
It is the iconic liaison figure between Opilogue and AI
