You can use Bob as a test case (or Donald Trump).TSBU wrote:Shoul we be afraid of natural stupidity?
You seem rather naive. You could just do a bit of reading on it. And we might have survived for millions of years without modern technology (although we've always had tools to help us) but we are dependent on it now. Where do you think this single 'master switch' is going to be located? (the switch that 'turns off' all the AI in the world.) Do you think something that is self-aware and far more intelligent than we are would tolerate an attempt to 'turn it off'?ken wrote: If machines had control of the internet, then human beings do not have to follow it. Again, just do not turn on their computers or just do not get involved with the internet. Human beings lived for millions of years without the internet and a power grid, I am sure they could live for million more years without those things.
If that switch turns off their power source, then I think it will do a lot, to them. They, I think, would not be able to resume themselves without power.
What do you mean by "proper philosophical language?"cladking wrote:We should be very afraid.
Not so much because it will want to take over but because humans aren't very smart and robots will be far better at it.
Indeed, humans will become extraneous and redundant unless we change our perspective on the nature of being human in advance. We must come to realize that humans aren't thinking machines but rather working and procreating machines. We must seek wisdom and longevity prefentially to knowledge and material comfort. We must seek life and individual understanding.
As things are now there would be massive economic and political disruptions which would kill large percentages of all humans if machine intelligence arose today.
We haven't even begun to prepare. We haven't even invented a proper philosophical language yet as the time grows short.
They might be quicker, and more reliable but they are not in the least smart. They do what they are told, and if you don't like it there is a thing called a power plug.cladking wrote:We should be very afraid.

You might want to consider several articles in the National Inquirer., too. For more intelligent people we can use the Daily Mail to wrap our chips in.Philosophy Explorer wrote:Something else to consider:

People are extraneous an redundant, now. And most of them are working and procreating machines, some people know that XD.cladking wrote:We should be very afraid.

Right now the very wealthy are using robots and all sorts of any means by hook or by crook to get all the money.TSBU wrote:
