Artificial Intelligence: What Do You Think?

Irrelevant.

Logic does not dictate that. One can be good at math and become an English professor. AI's would have their own personalities, and being AI's, they can be skilled in whatever they please.

Controlling us is more direct than going around. Going around us is more like leaving.

It would be impossible. Too many variables.

Congratulations, you named a type of argument. The destruction of man wouldn't be bad, and the universe would continue. The winds of time would quickly erase the footprint we left in the sand.

@Tristan427

Irrelevant.

What's irrelevant?

Logic does not dictate that.

Yes it does

Controlling us is more direct than going around. Going around us is more like leaving.

Controlling and manipulation is less direct than eradication and would avoid destroying resources as you mentioned earlier

It would be impossible. Too many variables.

As current technology allows...

Congratulations, you named a type of argument.

No, the issue is that your argument was faulty

The destruction of man wouldn't be bad

Says you -- there are probably a couple of billion people who would disagree

the universe would continue.

Yes it would, but that doesn't mean that the deaths of billions of sentient beings wouldn't be bad. I don't know how such people like you can have such a disregard for most of mankind

Your first statement was irrelevant.

I countered your argument on why it doesn't, and you ignored it. Logic would dictate that you acquire more skills. It is perfectly logical to do something you are not as skilled at, based on personal preference. Which non hive mind AI would have. Hive mind AI would probably be similar to human polymaths. Except...you know...a hive mind.

Saying Albert Einstein agreed wasn't an argument, it was a side note.

And how many of the people who would disagree are idiots? That's right, a good portion.

I don't know how such people like you refuse to look at the big picture, or think logically.

I'm not saying I would destroy mankind if I could. I wouldn't.

@Tristan427

Your first statement was irrelevant.

Actually it wasn't and showed that violence can occur in a dispassionate manner

I countered your argument on why it doesn't, and you ignored it.

No, I disagreed with your argument

Saying Albert Einstein agreed wasn't an argument, it was a side note.

Seemed like an argument

And how many of the people who would disagree are idiots? That's right, a good portion.

You'd still have a lot of people who are smart and would disagree so it's moot

I don't know how such people like you refuse to look at the big picture, or think logically.

You're saying it's being myopic to worry about the deaths of 7 billion human beings?

I'm not saying I would destroy mankind if I could. I wouldn't.

I understand that

Actually it was, because you were saying humans could do it. That means nothing. We already know humans are capable of such things.

You didn't state it, you left it out of your quote.

Well I just told you it was a side note. I made the statement, therefore I have the authority to state how it was intended.

Not a lot. Most smart people would agree the destruction of man wouldn't be a bad thing. Would it be sad? Yes, considering we had so much potential.

I am not heartless. I love some people, and I have the capacity to love more people. Hell, my female friends have even called me a romantic. My sx and sp are equal, and I love romantic relationships. Not to mention I have a high sex drive. But I'm also rational, and I have a strong will.

It is myopic to base your worries entirely on emotion.

@Tristan427

Actually it was, because you were saying humans could do it. That means nothing. We already know humans are capable of such things.

The point was that you could be horribly violent without being spiteful which was a human trait -- an A.I could also be very destructive without being spiteful...

You didn't state it, you left it out of your quote.

Because I disagreed with it

Well I just told you it was a side note. I made the statement, therefore I have the authority to state how it was intended.

What you said was an appeal to authority

Most smart people would agree the destruction of man wouldn't be a bad thing.

Maybe smart people that are misanthropic...

I am not heartless. I love some people, and I have the capacity to love more people.

And yet you feel it's not a big deal if the human race were wiped off the face of the earth

It is myopic to base your worries entirely on emotion.

They're not entirely based on emotion -- I don't think it's right to risk 7 billion lives...

Very true. But they wouldn't rub it in, like most humans would.

That's a great argument. ( sarcasm )

It was not, what I said was more of a side note. Not an argument, rather just a little tidbit of information which was interesting. I think I have the final say on what I mean't.

I am no misanthrope.

In the grand scheme of things, no. We don't have a memorial wall for every velociraptor that was killed by the Chicxulub meteor impact do we? It is a big deal for humans, not so for the rest of the universe.

Everyone is at risk for dying. AI's wouldn't be any more of a danger than nukes already are.

@Tristan

Very true.

Thank you for conceding the point

I am no misanthrope.

Maybe you aren't but people who would say that the annihilation of the human race isn't a bad thing sounds pretty misanthropic or at the least a pretty big disregard for life. Sure the sun would continue orbiting the earth and the universe would be largely unaffected -- still doesn't change the fact that 7 billion sentient beings got killed. That isn't right

Everyone is at risk for dying.

Actually all humans will die, but still I'd rather die at 85 than 32

Its not. They could be indifferent to the situation. Misanthropy is based on emotion.

What are you a Jedi? Who says? War isnt right, but it still occurs. 7 billion is not that much.

Not if we allow GNR to flourish. With stranger aeons even death may die.
