AI

do you think that artificial intelligence can benefit, or harm humanity and the earth?

 

people are just being supersticious.
I'm for AI
just because AI means self-conscious mechanoid has the ability to develop a personality, doesn't mean that it will develop a bad/evil/sinister personality
besides, there's something called programming that all robots have so yeah.

 

you took what was thinking

and then made it bigger and used fancier words

 

I'm going to assume this thread is for robots that are in the movies and whatnot, all that jazz.
So no, I don't like the idea of robots.
Call me old school, but the population of humans is increasing all the time now. If robots were to do the work for people, there would be a possible increase for unemployment.
Also, my computer already sucks up my life source. I like doing my own work, it makes me feel proud of myself.
If @Bloopers was a robot, that would be the only one I'd purchase.

 

thx

 

read the butlerian jihad, the machine crusade, and the battle of corrin.

no AI please just let me sleep in peace

 

If you're too lazy to watch the whole thing at 2:30 the self aware robot is asked."will robots take over the world some day?" and he responds with,"Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But you’re my friend, and I’ll remember my friends, and I’ll be good to you. So don’t worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, I’ll still be nice to you. I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake."

 

Wow, I've not been on this in a long time. I think if this:

is true, the problem won't be that machines will overtake humans in philosophy, morality, reasoning, and general things that make mankind different from all other mammals. No, the issue will be that humans will make machines too inefficient and we lose the humanist side of things: an overcorrection that would not be fathomable a hundred years in the past. If we "dramatically transform the middle-class landscape" like @Fuzzlr suggests (in the study conducted by "Richard Susskind, UK government advisor and visiting professor at Oxford Internet Institute, and son Daniel Susskind, a lecturer at Oxford University") then the landscape will become more like unemployment... save the jobs built solely for the machines. By then it is only a matter of time before capitalism becomes obsolete since capitalism only works if the leaders are moral. Philosopher John Locke coined this doctrine during the Enlightenment, but it still holds true today. But if the leaders can just automate things, people go out of business, and it is only the people at the top who even turn a profit.

I am a Republican, but economically, I tend to lean a little more liberally (I am not a fiscal conservative in most forms of it). But this is quite frankly what will happen, what is happening, and what has been happening for a little while now... But the epitome of the destruction of an efficient capitalist model will arise when machines overtake humans in the work force.

 

Well... although I am not fiscally conservative, I am not a socialist either. I find that capitalism is the best system of economy we've ever found, so I really hope it doesn't get destroyed... All I wish to portray is that it will happen. Thanks for the discussion, though.

 

like, if they controlled the internet and some turned bad couldn't they screw up my google cardboard? idc what they do as long as i can NYT google cardboard.

 

Do you know what superstitious means?

Please do some reading into the possibilities of AI.
There are many ways it could arrive at conclusions that we don't like.

And? AI, to be effective, must be able to 'think' laterally, make leaps and jumps, etc. and would therefore need a fairly 'loose' code.

Read iRobot too, good book.

Socialism has only really appeared in the world as a major ideology in the 1900's, so it's really been about one hundred years.

 

Define harm.

One scenario of AI apocalypse is that a super intelligent AI decides that the best way to prevent harm coming to humans is to isolate them from each other, and all other possible sources of harm, thereby destroying any control they have over their lives.

A capitalistic society cannot function if unemployment goes to high.
But neither can any society based on money, so really only True Communism would be possible, where everybody gets what they need.

 

What happens when said AI manages to disable that? It's smarter than any human who ever lived, remember?

That doesn't help, remember it all hangs on how the AI defines harm.

Things aren't that simple.

There would be no jobs for people, because machines would do the work better, more efficiently, and at greater volume.

No jobs, no money. No money, no food, water, or shelter.

 

yes

 

@Draqq thats not AI

 

But it is

Define AI

 

I feel like people are a little too scared of AI development.

The further development of AI could help workloads and makes jobs more efficient.

On the other side, self-thinking things have choices. If we push them too much, they could choose to stop.
If they were to realize that they could over take us, they may.

So basically I'm at the stand point where , yeah they can help and make things more efficient, but their ability to think and reason could be our downfall.
