RE: Code Written on the Fly in Real Time by AI? Imagine That!

I think the era of AI overlords being the main driver of most digital experiences is soon upon us. Just recently, there's been this NEO humanoid bot that could pretty much do many day to day house work according to the ad from the company but it was later debunked by MKHD that it was overhyped and actually a human was controlling the movement of the robot from a distance. I think that train of progress with humanoid robots being controlled by humans in some shape or form without much of the public being aware what's really going on in the backend could turn disastrous in the wrong hands. I'm still holding onto a speck of hope that our almost dystopian future ahead of us will have some elements of utopia to it, as a handle of sorts to not get fully immersed into the matrix.
That would be the least of my worries, that a human could control the robot from the other end instead of the robot being autonomous. Right now it's a marketing plot and a way to get robots quicker to be more human-like to be easier accepted. In the future I don't see this happening, and control will happen (to the extent it will) through training and enforced limitations and safeguards, rather than direct interventions, most likely.
Of course, having a house robot in your home to which even a technician could have access remotely to control even as a fail safe, can also introduce elements of risk through the invasion of privacy but then coupled with direct potential actions in your home that can also be opposite to your interests or well-being. But also in your interest. Everyone will likely have to choose whether to trust or not the new tech and to what extent. Given enough time, most people will likely adopt it, if they can afford it.
Right now, we see more evidence of the society (i.e. governments, corporations) turning dystopian than adding utopian elements. Let's see what the future holds for us!
