@remenca @tinker You would be OK with enslaving human level intelligences?

I would be ok with a AI that makes the work I do not want to do.

@remenca @tinker You better be careful what you wish for. You wish to be made redundant by an AI.

When you dig down, there appear to be two kinds of AI boosters (who are not shareholders in a hot company).

One group wants slaves.

One group wants to build a god and become its priesthood.

The common thread is that both enforce and encode a strict hierarchy in society.

@sjuvonen @tinker I guess that a third one uses false dichotomies to win discussions, because I see another option which is: the AI are socialized and the profits produced are distributed among the people.

@tinker @remenca @sjuvonen I think it is wrong to think in such form.

First AI is nowhere near approaching let alone enslaving human intelligence. Right now AI is not even intelligence and it is unclear if it will make that leap to become one. Maybe it will forever stay just advanced text autocomplete and information guesser.

Second - it is just a tool. Bad or good but a tool. Sure in some aspects it surpasses certain human abilities. Just like a car is faster than human natural movement and it allows carrying much greater weight over much longer distances. But it supplements our abilities not enslaves us.

Talking of AI as potentially omnipotent evil is just adding to the hype.
