>can we stop strong AI from not becoming the next Hitler?
Keeping any of the many possible candidates for the next Hitler from becoming the next Hitler is a more immediate problem.
>It doesn't show real(-like) "thinking".
It doesn't need to.
You don't need AGI for software to be very dangerous. An adaptive worm that targets critical infrastructure is already more than dangerous enough.
The trouble with AI is that people keep conflating "Has human emotions" with "Responds conversationally like a human" with "Is self-directing" with "Is sentient" with "Is self-improving" with "Might consider genocide" with "Has super-human physical capabilities."
There is absolutely no requirement for any overlap between any of those.
