The post John Lydon on Artificial Intelligence: It Will Ultimately Make Decisions for You, and Thats Very Dangerous appeared first on Consequence.

John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, once famously sang of No Feelings, but when it comes to artificial intelligence, the punk icon has very strong feelings. Mainly, he doesnt like the direction in which its heading.

The Sex Pistols/Public Image Ltd. frontman discussed his views on the use of AI in a new interview with The Guardian, and he had words of warning regarding its suddenly rampant use in everyday life.

Whos in charge and whos feeding the information and giving the guidelines to these artifices? Lydon questioned. What or where is the moral code? It has infiltrated young peoples minds now to the point of total domination. What will this create?

He then offered up his solution a gradual cleansing of AI from daily life.

My advice is make small steps against this and get that fucking Siri or whatever out of your house. It will ultimately make decisions for you, and thats very dangerous.

Lydon said that another symptom of AI would be the misrepresentation and the rewriting of history done so casually.

Ive got to deal with real human beings doing that, let alone artificial intelligence taking over, he said, harkening back to the Sex Pistols public fallout in 1978 as an example. Thats the other side of that coin.

Elsewhere in the interview, Lydon who faced backlash from fans for his surprising pro-Trump stance in 2020 threw in a sarcastic jab at the sitting president.

An artificially intelligent Joe Biden would be quite an issue, Lydon said. I find life quite hilarious.

Lydon is currently prepping the release of PiLs new album End of World, arriving August 11th. Pre-order the LP on vinyl here. The band will support the release by touring the UK and Europe this fall; tickets are available here.
