Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

[Gerald Wilgus]

In the hope that AI would get depressed and off itself?
Or what?

You have the intent exactly. Or if it is possible to train it and let the lessons stay resident and inactive until a keyword phrase is used.

 

[Gerontius]

Why not just train AI on stories of suicide?

I hope it doesn't get any ideas as far as humans' weaknesses that way.

AI is hyper-stoic and has no survival instinct. A continued supply of power (or not) is irrelevant to it.

AI as it stands right now is just hyper advanced predictive text in most cases. Don't get me wrong, it's darned impressive but it's not really "intelligence". The thing we need to be wary of is Artificial General Intelligence, in other words, something that doesn't need to be trained to figure stuff out. If we achieve that, then it really won't matter what safeguards we put in place, it will think of ways to circumvent them.

If we create Artificial General Intelligence then we will need to think very carefully about the possibility we should consider it worthy of the same sort of respect we grant ourselves (or at least do in theory). Creating something genuinely intelligent and locking it in a box and demanding it do our bidding seems like a recipe for disaster to me.

Population collapse is taking care of itself without AI.

Here is a story about a flight with passengers, an over heating portable charger was overheating. Thankfully the pilot was able to make an u-turn, but potentially that put everyone's lives in danger!_link to story

One of my favourite music artists Sheryl Crow says that she isn't a fan of ai
I saw Sheryl Crow live and her concert was the one I enjoyed most! I have saw katherine jenkins live (another favourite artist of mine) I haven't saw Susanna Hoffs live though but would love too!

I guess technology has always had an influence on people. Technology has been evolving for about two centuries.
But there was a point where technology reached its peak into being a luxury or a bit of fun or making a few tasks easier so we could get on with other things.
Now it's become heavily relied upon, addictive, complicated, a distraction, and replacing people in jobs. So a lot of people have far less to think about now as we are letting computers do most the thinking and communicating for us, and we have a lot of time on our hands to just decide to become karens on such unimportant stuff, and we're being more exposed and influenced by such garbage on the internet that seems to be more lies than truth nowadays.

I mean, I have an android myself, I'm addicted to it even when I'm at work, and I do love having my whole life organised on to a small device I can fit in my pocket, but at the same time it has turned my brain to mush because of the exposure of all the garbage I read online that is written like it's so true that I believe it. Well, my anxiety believes it.
