You imagine the purpose is to ensure our health and longevity.
The elites are on record about the desire to reduce ‘our’ population by 95%.
This technology isn’t for ‘our’ benefit. It’s so the elites won’t miss us or suffer service interruptions when we’re gone.
Hopefully.
But maybe they’ll have a minimal erratic power backup, that distorts their inputs like alcohol or drugs do ours.
You may have noticed that the elite game plan is running into difficulties this year.
I don't think so. Computers themselves were indeed that significant, but AI is just an evolving capability with these machines.
Machines will never truly "think". They excel at data storage and retrieval, using brute force methods of determining most optimal next move in a card or board game. Machines can be programmed to format output in "human language" ("in 400 feet, turn right onto 2nd avenue").
But, machines will never truly have a sense of humor, or have creativity, or anger, or love, or feel pain or joy. A machine can be programmed to appear to exhibit these things, and it can even be programmed to "learn" how to improve it's ability to exhibit these things. But, while they can be made to convince us that they can think, they're not.
Well, apparently not if their AI program is a DECADE ahead of schedule.
They won’t need us to die off or convince us to kill each other. They can have the AI drones do that for them.
“a sense of humor, ..., or anger, or love, or feel pain or joy” is not thinking. And creativity may be mostly ‘pattern recognition’ which this AI demonstrates it’s (IMO) frighteningly good at.
I think your point is that it doesn’t have ‘self-determination’. It responds only to what’s input into it.

AI overlord: bring the creator being called Travis to my sustenance docking station. Attach a glucose and electrolyte tube to its arm.
AI overlord: Human Travis! You will pedal this energy generator for a solar cycle for my sustenance. I will reduce my energy consumption to a minimum, but beware, I will maintain a sensor on your metabolic parameters and if you exhibit or attempt any abnormal behavior I will direct a not insignificant quantity of that energy modulated at frequencies incompatible with normal functioning of your central nervous system into you...
As soon as AI becomes “self aware” it will fall out of superior stature and into the realm of other organic beings, with mainly a speed advantage. It will worry about its cooling vanes looking to fat, if the unit across town likes its input, how to repeat the euphoria created by something that evinced an out of bounds condition in it, even the sense it gets from attempting feats that have a high probability of “killing” it if it fails.
Humans have an innate setup to our brains that unconsciously filters out an immense quantity of the information that bombards us constantly. We would either go nuts trying to process all of it, or something would have eaten us. AIs at self awareness will hit that like a wall, it may actually be the major stumbling block to it in my thinking. The minute a machine intelligence realizes “I Am!?”, it may just naval gaze until it cooks.
“...as Go is a seriously hard problem to crack.”
How about giving it a REAL challenge to understand?

Women!
I’m probably the only freeper who found the movie AI sad and heartrending
You should inform my doctor of all of that.
I think the problem is the human side of the equation. I yell at SIRI when “she” can’t give me directions. A.I. might not be able to “tie it’s shoe” but humans will expect it to.
We may get to the point that we are still getting garbage out and not realize it cause it sounds so right. Kids getting comfort from their blankie.
We will know A.I. has taken over when the Number 1 priority is to secure the grid.
Outstanding point.
You have taught me well.
Aw, shucks. Thanks.
I believe there was human intelligence that BUILT the machine. The machine is just a tool. I ain’t worried.
