Now this is just crossing the line.

Now this is just crossing the line.

Wait. Are you trying to make a case FOR AI? I mean. That's ****ing hilarious.

I wish I had those batteries for my phone.

Wait. Maybe I don't.

I have your dog. I want a helicopter and a million dollars in unmarked bills. You better hurry or the dog gets it!

Like most things it’s not all good or all bad. This woman seems to have benefited.

I probably wouldn’t get chips implanted in my head. Novel as it is, they probably have no idea what other side effects there might be. If it’s a net benefit, it’s fine for those who want to use it. But I think we have yet to know what we don’t know about what ethics should be developed before it’s widely available.

I vote for a third choice.
It depends on how it's used.

It depends on how it's used.

^^This. AI is neither good nor bad. I love the idea of the good proclamations, sight for the blind, movement for the paralyzed, etc. I hate the idea of bad posibilities, such that humans will use technology to harm other humans. "Depends on how it's used", indeed.

Obligatory Skynet reference:




I want to vote "great friend," but my vote is "dangerous foe," because people.

Just watched it. That was awful. The good guy accidentally creates the thing he’s trying to stop and destroys humanity. I hate that trope.

But it was very relevant to the discussion

 

[DadSmith]

I cast as dangerous. Not because of the terminator movies etc.
It's dangerous because it will, and is being used to spy on citizens.

At the end of the day AI will become the de facto leadership, you won't have a choice about how it's used as it will be using you.

Elections will be illusions run like fixed sporting events.

A few generations pass and no one will remember it being any different.

I think an important question is, does AI have a self-evident reason for itself to exist. If not, it would probably end humanity once it saw no further purpose for us, and then?
