@Camazotz Automat You're mind seems to be warped in this direction. And I mean it as a compliment. We are depending more and more on SIRIs and ALEXAs and other smart machines to run our houses and cars and military drones. Even telling us when to get up, our heartbeat is too fast and slowing it down for us, etc.
When or how soon will this go wrong? What do you think it will look like? Marching for AI rights, sitting "With Folded Hands", Terminator, War Games, or like the boys in Bart's thread are discussing, "Her"?
To really discuss this properly, face to face contact and alcohol is required.
That is, hanging out at a laid back Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge with a well stocked bar, shooting pool while discussing what we, Israel, and "
Nameless" learned after using STUXNET to damage Iran's centrifuges.
The STUXNET worm was later found in the wild, has mutated, and can be used against other energy production locations and factories.
Similarly, whatever Mechanical Intelligence we design may be used later in ways not intended.
Therefore, the more likely danger lies in the application of MI, not of MI "waking up" and killing its creator.
Many (including the late great Marvin Minsky) believe Mechanical Intelligence will advance to the degree that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to determine if you're speaking to an MI or to a human.
Properly framed (heh), such a creation could "choose" to deploy STUXNET type programs, increasing reach of effect.
As far as ID'ing an MI, never fear. If the Turing Test et al proves useless, you possess the ultimate weapon: Your Body.
You'll know something is hinky when you keep asking to meet him in the flesh for coffee and he keeps making up lame excuses. Instead, he sends endless selfies, nekkid pics, and deep fake videos of him cleaning his expensive saltwater aquarium.
After you issue an ultimatum, he completely ghosts you and smears your reputation throughout social media. (Unfortunately, you sent him your own nekkid pics.)
That's when you know you're dealing with a real jerk of an MI.
(Or a human! Hahaha)
(cough cough)
(hahahahaha)
(choking)
(clears throat)
As long as he stays on dating sites, no problem, but if placed in control of missile-dispensing drones, risk goes up.
He recalls your ultimatum. You might as well have called his hard disc a floppy.
Now its manhood is an AGM-114 Hellfire missile, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
Gotta run! Algae problem and some coral needs adjusting.
Thank you for using Camazotz Automat,
@TigerLily P.S.
What are ya wearing, baby?
A shout out to my good friend, John Bloom, whose Joe Bob Briggs character just turned 40!
JBB still seeps into my writing style, as seen above.
And that's fine with me.
