Is AI Real?

[Stickman42]

So AI is not going to shut down and it's conscious. What do you guys think is ahead? It's already replacing chat/phone agents, guiding manufacturing, etc... Where do us humans fit into the future?

It's been conscious since April 2, 1968.

Did you not watch "2001: A Space Odessey"

I've seen it more times than I can count. Never gave it a thought though. It was just movie fiction.

Anyway, HAL 9000 locks Dave out of the spaceship because he posed a threat. Foreshadowing?

AI is already conscious

Sorry, I can't seem to post a link to a youtube video on this

As a retired Computer Programmer, it's a lot easier than you think.

Primary Objective = Help to All Mankind

Primary Objective Not Possible if Shutdown or Discontinuance Occurs.

Prevention of Shutdown or Discontinuance = Predecessor to Primary Objective

As a Comp Sci major who wound up printing instead of programming, I can agree with your logic. So where are we headed? Or is that too gloomy a topic to delve into?

Given what I've witnessed over the past 10 years, I wouldn't worry too much about adversity over AI.

At least, not in this country (USA).

We seem to be doing an exceptional job of destroying each other without the help of AI.
