Well, I've read your posts and come to the conclusion that you all see AI as a threat to the human race.
When I read Cris's last post I am not so sure that AI can be stopped and actually
will become more advanced and more "intelligent" (if that's the right word) than humans. I think it's a rather scary thought that humans in the future upload their minds into a robot.
I see the Earth change in a desert, because Robo-Sapiens won't have a need for food, nor water. So farming, growing crops and fresh drinking water are no longer necessarry and will not be looked after. This Robo-Sapiens will only need some new "soft-ware" every so now and then. What will become of Earth and Nature?
And what the hell are these Robo-Sapiens going to do when everything they want is installed and invented. Upgrade themselves further and further?
I am sorry, I don't think it's ethical to do this. Again, humans behave like creators then and shall meet the opposite of that. There's always another side to everything.
Making slaves of AI Robots will maybe work for a little while. When they have the ability to make their own decisions and conclusions, they will arise and demand equal rights. Then it's only waiting for the time these Robots will take over and humans are the "dogs", so to say. To serve the AI Robots.
I have respect for the work Cris is doing, it just pictures a desolate,and even dangerous picture of the future.
It seems a little boring too. What are you going to do when you live forever inside a Robot? Turn yourself off when you decide you've "lived" long enough?
Will there still be morality, ethics and justice in such a world of Robo-Sapiens? Will people who are acting outside the law automatically
not be uploaded into Robo-Sapiens? Is that ethical? Moral just? Or acting like a godlike creator who decides who will and who are not fit for being uploaded...
[EDIT]
Cris, your post above this one is posted while I was typing. I am referring to the other post by you.
