Haha indeed. An AI wouldnt be concerned with public opinion and self image. An AI might axtually get things done, instead of only talking about doing for the public opinions.

Not if they have to be worried about election/re-election or are you suggesting we submit to a rule of robot overlords without any kind of representatitve process? :D

The problem with AI, in my opinion, isn't about humanoid-like AI's destroying the planet or robot uprising.

But the process of giving up our own intelectual capacity over to AI dependency.

But even that isn't really an AI specific issue, as it is already happening with social media and the invention of the smartphone. And specifically the trust and dependancy people have for them. Think about fake news for example for a very recent example. I mean, education already fails miserably when it comes to teaching critical thinking and technology keeps on pushing the neccesity of these skills further and further back.

Ah, I like technology though regardless. As I am certain I have the capacity to continue my intellectual existance regardless of technology, due to having a broad perspective and a well maintained mental filter. But you don't have to look very hard in order to meet people who definately lack the tools required to properly handle these kinds of technologies.

This was the last post on this thread before Stephen Hawking died on 14 March 2018. Ponder that.

between ufo's flying over nuclear weapons bases, super-intelligent robots rising up against humanity and islamic jihad, I think it's safe to say the world is fucked.
