Itās nice to know where Skynet will come from.
Seriously though - at what point should we start caring about the AIās rights and interests as a feeling entity? Not perhaps so much from the perspective of human-status questions initially, but more likeā¦ animal abuse issues?
I wonder if theyāre going to use Amy Ackerās voice too.
/ any computer that calls me āsweetieā in a womanās voiceā¦
Iām guessing theyāve determined that this kind of functional programming allows their conscience to embrace the loophole of āDonāt be evilā applying only to humans.
Iām guessing this shift towards machine learning was advised byā¦wait for itā¦machine learning.
I think Iām going to go with ānever.ā When a machine says to you, āIām sorry,ā itās lying. Machines donāt feel sorrow.
So, if we manage to transfer a human consciousness to a machine, will you still feel the same way?
If you donāt think this is possible, why not?
ā¦and how do you know other humans feel sorrow as opposed to faking it?
How long till the AI starts looking us from the perspective of animal abuse issues?
Just sayinā. Youāll find me in the hills (no you wonāt).
Also, machines canāt āintendā to deceive. Theyāre machines. They donāt have āintentā - they just do what their programming is. So they canāt lie.
Iām actually going to have to get deeply back into programming, because clearly no-one is terribly worried about this. Programming to seek out AI in the wild and put it back in its box.
Maybe if we treat it with an appropriate level of dignity and compassion, it will treat us in kind.
Iām totally with you. I think about neural networks and stuff, they seem to work similarly to human brains, right? So what Iām imagining is some conscious entity whose entire existence consists of reading Google searches. Or what about a neural network trained to come up with new baby names, as we saw on BoingBoing earlier. What if thereās actually some conscious entity who feels compelled to spend itās entire existence thinking of strings of characters? Maybe it feels some kind of mental anguish if it ātriesā to disobey itās program and return a name that doesnāt fit, who really knows? (maybe trying to get on the good side of our robot overlords but still at least half serious)
Yeahā¦ I donāt see any fundamental difference between complex networks of electric signals running on a mushy carbon substrate and complex networks of electric signals running on a slick silicone substrate.
We really ought to give some thought to the subjective experience of what we are spawning here.
worst Voight-Kampff test everā¦
