I find Cruella DeVille Scarier Than HAL 9000

I know that AI exists. I know about ChatGPT and Gemini. I've also used Bing Image Creator quite frequently. But artificial intelligence will never really equal human intelligence. These AI chatbots believe everything they read and can't tell fantasy from reality. They often "hallucinate" facts and make up phony bibliography entries for books that don't exist when they write articles.

Also, most importantly, artificial intelligence does not have emotions. Artificial intelligence is powered by computers, and computers follow the rules given to them by humans at all times and at all costs. People, on the other hand, have emotions, and when they're overpowered by those emotions (especially anger) they cast any and all rules aside in pursuit of their goal. If M from Quantum Of Solace could see Cruella right now, she'd tell Cruella, "I believe you're so blinded by inconsolable rage you don't care who you hurt." Artificial intelligence will never be blinded by inconsolable rage or any other emotion for that matter.

Be afraid of the minds that create and manipulate AI for their own (not good) purposes. If something can be abused, it will.

"Be afraid of the minds that create and manipulate AI for their own (not good) purposes."

I certainly will.

The reason I made this meme is because many years ago, the American Film Institute (AFI) made a list of top 50 heroes and the top 50 villains in movies, calling it the "AFI 100 Years..100 Heroes and Villains" list. On the villains list, Cruella DeVil was ranked #39, whereas the HAL 9000 was ranked at #13. I will go on the record and publicly disagree with ranking HAL 9000 above Cruella DeVil and dozens of other human villains. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a much better movie than "101 Dalmatians" overall, but Cruella DeVil is a much scarier villain than HAL 9000 to me. HAL 9000 could only do what the humans who designed him enabled him to do, and he killed the other crewmates to protect his own existence. Cruella DeVil's end goal was to kill dozens of innocent puppies who were not a threat to her safety or anyone else's safety, but because she wanted to use them to make a fur coat. Also, Cruella DeVil can learn anything she wants to learn, whereas HAL 9000 only knows what the humans who designed him want him to know. Here's a link to the list:

I also believe that people who have been in abusive relationships would disagree with a motionless and emotionless computer being ranked as more evil than emotionally charged human beings with a free range of motion that enables to destroy everything and everyone in their path.

I agree that computers and AI cannot be 'evil' per se the way that humans can; your meme was not about which was more evil, but what you find more frightening. I will admit, after being the recent target of a road rage incident, that a maniac behind the steering wheel of a car driving 90mph down a highway, certainly brings more immediate fear for ones immediate survival rather that the nefarious use of AI that has the potential to ruin and control lives perhaps even entire populations as a tool of globalist corporations who seek control of economies and peoples though manipulation of data and social engineering.
