Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
pmc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoIf we have an AI that’s equivalent to humanity in capability of learning, creative output, and transformation, it would be immoral to just use it as a tool. At least that’s how I see it.

I think that’s a huge risk, but we’ve only ever seen a single, very specific type of intelligence, our own / that of animals that are pretty closely related to us.
Movies like Ex Machina and Her do a good job of pointing out that there is nothing that inherently means that an AI will be anything like us, even if they can appear that way or pass at tasks.
It’s entirely possible that we could develop an AI that was so specifically trained that it would provide the best script editing notes but be incapable of anything else for instance, including self reflection or feeling loss.
