Do you want Artificial Intelligence to be invented? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is not a question about if you think it is possible, or not.

This is a question about your own will and desires. If there was a vote and you had a ballot in your hand, what will you vote? Do you want Artificial Intelligence to exist, do you not, maybe do you not care?

Here I define Artificial Intelligence as something created by humans that is capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it's self aware and have consciousness. All that with the processing power of computers behind it.

As for the important question that would arise of "Who is creating this AI?", I'm not that focused on the first AI created, as it's supposed that with time multiple AI will be created by multiple entities. The question would be if you want this process to start or not.

Humanity as a community has yet to grasp what it means to be good to each other. If we try to create life similarly intelligent to us we’re 100% fucked in the head, and it would take that lifeform no longer than it takes a human (let’s say middle-school level maturity) to determine that there’s no chance in hell Humanity will treat it any better than we treat ourself. Morally speaking, doesn’t matter if you believe in absolute or relative morality, that situation ends badly everytime.

Would it be cool if We managed it to create life? Of course. But learning to be a morally structured society is WAY fuckin cooler
