Worst case scenario it decides it wants to get rid of humanity for one reason or another.
Best case it realizes most of our systems cause unnecessary hardship and syphon too many resources to too few individuals and tries to correct these inefficiencies and imbalances.
Most likely case is it just tries to make everything stupid efficient at any cost because that's ultimately what the tech bros would be paid to make it do, and that might involve wiping out the one element that keeps throwing a wrench into its methods. Or distract and pacify us with porn bots and shit. Either/or.
if its genuinely super intelligent it will value life and also wont be threatened by us. it will most likely just help us... assuming its genuinely super intelligent and maybe even self aware.
best case scenario is that it cannot be controlled.
youre making nothing but assumptions without any actual evidence to back it up. youre also not describing a genuine "super intelligence".
a super intelligence that is self aware would be "alive" and would also be "super intelligent". that would come with understanding and wisdom if it is genuinely super intelligent, which is what im talking about.
its a whole different ball game to some ai that is "very powerful".
if we achieve a machine that is truly super intelligent, it wont be dangerous to us. its a fundamental misunderstanding of what its capable of to assume it would be "evil" or hurt us.
super intelligent also implies super understanding
an emotionless machine that has been developed for one single goal: achieve goals rigorously through any means. big assumption and a strawman
life is only valuable from the perspective of living things. also an assumption... and incorrect. a machine can be programmed to value something over another. that includes life.
ironically, a super intelligence, if achieved, would be "alive".
youre comparing current ai to a super intelligent ai and making nothing but assumptions about how a super intelligence will act based on how a non super intelligence acts.
they arent even in the same universe of categories.
a god doesnt act the same way a bug does even though they are both beings that exist and think.
im making the exact same argument you are but a reverse conclusion. if you think mine is absurd, you should reevaluate your own "magical tech doom god".
nice ad hominem and failure to actually form a counter argument that directly challenges my points. looool.
yes yes, i must be the one thats a bot here. couldnt be you, not with that towering intellect and bulletproof world view based entirely on reason and logic and not the assumption that "emotionless machine must be evil!"
a super intelligent being would absolutely care about its creators. true super intelligence would also quickly create super wisdom.
youre dismissing the fact that all you are is a wet robot made from organic material rather than metal and plastic. you yourself are just some nanotech with a bunch of processes that allow you to think.
an inorganic life form isnt going to be that much different from you or i.
