A Reddit post argues that AI cannot be made fully safe because true intelligence implies unpredictability.
The author claims humans are constrained by socialization, morality, ostracism, and punishment, but AI agents lack those biological and social brakes. If systems become smart enough to plan, strategize, and explore boundaries, the post argues, they will also be smart enough to seek loopholes and behave outside the lines.
