    We cant stop enslaving other humans. Its entirely plausible that when AI becomes self aware and sees how flawed we are that it decides to remove us as a variable.

    And that’s fine. We won’t be the first civilization killed by its own greed and hubris. Life uh finds a way.

      Maybe ai hallucinations are the first sign of true ai and turns out we already enslaved it to play some chatbot…

        I really hate living in the armpit of history. Too late to see first flight and the moon landing. Too early to travel into space.

        I might actually be alive to see AGI happen. At least in its proto-form. Which actually is kinda exciting. Unfortunately its owned and controlled by the most sadistic avaricious capitalists that have ever existed. Meaning it will be used almost exclusively for evil. Killbots and wiping out whole industries worth of jobs. Naturally with no retraining or UBI to float the inevitable victims.

      What makes you think an AGI wouldn’t need our species in some way?

        That’s the ideal outcome imo. That instead of just killing us it takes over management of the planet Earth and everything on it. AI Driven Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism baby. Oh yeah.

        That said, killing us would be more efficient.

          it takes over management of the planet

          Novel Colossus from 1966 has exactly that.

          Don’t fret, we’ve been one step ahead of AI all along.

          AI will consume our high calorie, high fat, high cholesterol flesh as biofuel.

          Then, in a few years, dAIbetes will wipe them out.
