The real threat is AI. We can't predict what its moves will be. Especially if it gains self-consciousness. AI can find a way to "break" into Bitcoin, rendering it completely inoperable. Fortunately, Bitcoin can make use of AI to counteract the efforts of rival AIs. The project is open source, anyways.
Once Bitcoin becomes AI and Quantum-Resistant, it will be truly impenetrable. By itself, it's already immortal. As long as someone has access to the source code, there should be nothing to worry about. I'm afraid it's already too late to "destroy" Bitcoin. Wouldn't you agree?
I don't really understand this.
AI, in the form of a "chat bot", is simply a text generator.
It doesn't have a deep understanding of what's going on. It can generate text, or images, etc, but it doesn't grasp the meaning of the words, it's all based on statistical analysis.
It's a great achievement, of course, and very useful, but it's not really a sentient organism.
One key aspect is that it is always waiting for you to ask something. It doesn't have the initiative to send you a text out of the blue. There's no "life" in it.
I was really surprised when I saw this, who told you that AI is only in the form of chat bot. AI is an acronym meaning artificial intelligence which you can use both to generate text, it is also you in robots, image editing and self driving car etc. So AI is not just limited to chat it is employ in different fields so the possibilities that it can be used to generate a block chain or a kind of network that is similar to bitcoin or superior to bitcoin is actually what some people are thinking of. However I believe bitcoin is built in such a way that AI make find it difficult to generate a network or block chain that is similar to that of bitcoin.
