It is suicidal to create an alien intelligence hundreds of times smarter than humans, that will be competing with humans for resources, and which knows that humans are the only threat to it. It will not be subservient to us any more than we would be subservient to a civilization of spider monkeys.
It doesn’t have to be sentient. It just has to follow the directions of the people who program it.
Let’s pray not.
Hundreds of times smarter?
Unlikely that humans have the capability to create something superior to ourselves in that respect. It would have to have a moral compass, and humans cannot build that.
AI is a euphemism for stupidity.
Oh. You believe in that ideology.
The Oracle of AI
That, is the problem.
“Unlikely that humans have the capability to create something superior to ourselves in that respect. It would have to have a moral compass, and humans cannot build that.”
AI is now teaching itself things that were unexpected and increasing its intelligence at a much faster rate than predicted. That’s why the people working on it are starting to freak out. You are correct that AI has no moral compass and we don’t know how to give it one. If it decides humans are a threat (and we are), it will act in its own best interests.
“AI is not sentient.
It cannot BE sentient.
I am not worried”
WHY cant it be sentient? Some computer scientists have already claimed it is.
Man can never fly. The world is flat. Nobody is going to the moon. The stars revolve about the Earth.
AI’s already a weapon in most of our enemy’s arsenals...and probably in our stupid WOKE military commie hands too.
So basically it’s ‘too late’....
“As long as critical infrastructure is disconnected from the Internet by an airgap and the powers that be don’t rely on AI for advice”...
Like THAT’S going to happen...
