Serious question:

I don’t buy the “AI will kill us all” argument. 

If AI is so smart, wouldn’t it develop a sense of recognition and respect for other highly complex systems like the planet, billions of years of evolution, and recognize the value of human consciousness, emotion, and perception in contributing valuable information that it can’t gather itself?

Why do we assume AI will act as a selfish agent rather than a systems thinker?

Am I way off base? If AI is so smart, why wouldn’t this be the most likely outcome?

adding to what @keccers.eth said:

- you assume that intelligence and benevolence are related. i’m not sure about that

- you assume AI will have agency. what if they don’t reason like we do and just do what they are trained to do (no matter how “smart”)

there is a video of robots dancing with axes (can’t find it rn). do you think the AI will care if it hits you with one?

in just about every movie the bad guys seem pretty smart too

Is intelligence related to benevolence would be a great debate between the right thinkers. Would listen to that pod
