is it really required that we make computers artificially intelligent?

[666norton420]

imo, possibly.

some intelligence other than our own on this planet might be quite beneficial.

;d

As much as I love seeing where Technology is going... That Hugo guy just pisses me off... He's like a conspiracy theorist... His sensationalist claims only hurt progress, scare people, and make him money.

WE make this technology, meaning that WE are in control. There is no magic behind this. Unless we WILLFULLY allow/make our technology to go crazy and become aggressive towards us, the Terminator apocalypse will NOT happen, EVER. We program the software, and so we can put safeties in place.

i'm sorry, but that's exactly the kind of thinking hugo is trying to curb.

to think you can control that which dwarfs your intelligence, is folly.

i found this debate years ago between hugo and mike something, a lead programmer in the AI movement.

in the end, i felt that hugo won... which is a bad thing. ; )

go watch building gods on google video and let me know what you think then.

very good doc!

later

;d

People think that creating intelligence greater than our own is scary.  Think about when the artilects decide to make intelligence greater than their own. Think about when they create something that scares them.

Hmm. If I was a super AI computer and my makers hadn't build in anything to protect me from emp, I think that would be the first thing I would realize as being an immediate threat to myself and then using my massive intellect figure out how to protect myself.

[Aspanaut]

Because the physical world is electric!!duh!

@Freshhhhh1982 There will always be humans but evolving and changing to the mainstream effects in the ecosystem they are living in, not like every single human will just plug into/use one type of machine... Think of it like tribes of humans, they still exist and grow mentally and physically at a different pace then societies we have today.

[Freshhhhh1982]

I dont think most people understand whats going to happen. There will be no division between humans and machines. We will all be part machine or we may transfer our intelligence to a machine.

Coran Bomb - think the end of the Day the Earth Stood Still remake, if you've seen it. It will send us back to the stone age, but it WILL stop any sentient machines from being a threat to us. In a scenario similar to something like the Terminator movies, this would be a type of "can't-fail" event that would destroy the machines no matter what, at any point in the timeline—to use examples from fiction.
