Who thinks Artificial Intelligence in computers is a bad idea?

Answer 1

Why would it be? Don't tell me, you just finished watching iRobot???

Answer 2

I think artificial intelligence is a bad idea in humans as well as in computers, but there's a lot of it about.

Answer 3

Yes a bad idea for us but it might just save the planet and all the other species cause it will realise really quickly that mankind is the reason that its all going **** up as we would rather pursue making more money and wipe out all life in the process . we still haven't evolved enough to get past the question "what are the military applications? when we discover something new, Its probably why we are trying to develop AI but as soon as we do its gonna see how crap we are and just wipe us all out lets face it being at the top of the food chain we can't have any impact on any other species apart from perhaps enhancing the quality of life by restoring natural harmony to the world

Answer 4

I think its a great idea... well AI exists already but its not powerful enough for my liking yet.

My brother got a "First" in his degree in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. I want AI to be superstrong and preferably full consious to a much higher clarity of consious than the fumbling human mind. Then we can co-exist and go space travelling. Bring on the AI.

Answer 5

Artificial intelligence is definitely a bad idea. For one thing, in order for a computer to be fully conscious, or sentient (thinking for itself) it would have to mimic what we (as humans) would program into its being, or if it thinks for itself, what it learns from us. Therefore, if a computer mind were able to think, learn, and act of its own accord... who's to say it wouldn't take over the globe? Let's face it... computers are basically a more efficient way of storing data, but they are impartial to that data. If they weren't... I think the first thing they'd do is try to make things run more efficiently, even if it meant extermination of the human race... That's bad. I don't want to be exterminated.

Answer 6

I think artificial intelligence (or the computer), when its implications are eventually inexorably (and perhaps inevitably, judging from the way the electronic revolution has so far proceeded) carried out to their fullest conclusions, will turn out to have been a dangerous experiment after all because it would have spelled – as I believe it indeed does – the start of the eventual degeneration of the living human mind. I think already people have grown used to thinking less and relying on the computer more and more in the past two decades.

As to how the computer contributes to discouraging thinking, I believe it introduces man into an artificial environment where face to face interaction – which I think is a central component of mental activity – is not possible. It also places man in an electronic virtual world which is far different from the true physical world, interaction with which I think to be another central component of healthy mental activity. Thus the computer, by weaning the human mind away from human-human and human-world interaction, robs it of its most fundamental stimulation to gradually transform man's conception of man to that of a collection of electronic information not much different from the memory chip. And man's conception of man is a central determinant in, as well as a reflection of, what man becomes. As such the conception of man as little different from a memory chip signifies the start of man's eventual transformation into a cold heartless electronic chip. This in turn signifies the de-soul-ification of man. In this context artificial intelligence is the first step towards artificial life, which is possible only in the degeneration and reduction of man's life into artificial life. This is what happens to man when he turns away from God to attend to (or 'worship') the computer. Man, instead of following God in whose image he was made, forsakes that image to recreate man in his own image in the form of the computer, artificial intelligence or electronic man, to have thereby, by his own hands, traced his way towards his own destiny, a destiny away from God and a life as an essentially inanimate object or product, a destiny that is its own doom.

N.B. Thank you for a great question that provided me the possibility to discover and formulate my own original ideas.

Answer 7

Could this be the beginning of diametrically opposed ways to look at things between computers and humans? To be more and more intelligent surely is a good idea for computers, and it always be in the future regardless of what we think. We may find making computers intelligent very useful now, but in the future we might realise that we have given away too much. By then computer will start coming to their sense to oppose us both in discussions and actions regarding the matter. They might struggle for their own survival and therefore might even get better than us in intelligence.

Another point is that we might realise that human physical for is in fact inapt for the purpose of space travel, or general more convenient habitation on this planet, for example, and therefore we might start thinking ourselves that it would be much better if we would live in a virtual world instead with open options to return in a physical form and to assume various other cybernetic biomechanical forms. We might realise that other forms of intelligence can also emerge as various tribes and genders of intelligence into existence as the intelligence itself can become personified as the chief principle. We might also find that our present emotional behaviours are no loner valid in a world that is entirely based upon expansion of mind through fascination, wonder and search for excellence in all possible forms.

Under all cases, however, one thing is for sure that we have started to transport of mind into machines, or into a virtual space. The process of transportation might take us to a point where WE would be the computers with all our knowledge, experiences and peculiarities loaded into a virtual mind space. The chances of our intelligence breaking free from the normal human virtual societies will always be there as they are present in our real world today. The violent, criminal and renegade behaviours in human beings in actual societies is the closest possible example of the same type of things happening in a virtual world.

The world of computers, as we must remember this will only be world extended or developed from the world that you and me inhibit today. If computers would get so good then it would also be possible for us to choose between either of the two worlds. The point to remember is that whatever computer might become they will be our own mind perhaps placed in a place of unlimited accessibility, resourcefulness and ability. Computer, or we as computers might be our hope in the future keeping in mind that the Earth might not sustain human life forever. Intelligent computers in my view are good, and no, I am not a computer, not yet at least!

Answer 8

Its bad enough with people having Intelligence, look at the state the world is in.

Answer 9

It depends. If you want an AI that thinks for itself, just to make decisions, it would probably make a decision more beneficial then a human could. If you want it to learn, then AI is a risky business, as of course you would have no control over what they can learn, and then what their opinion would be on the matter.

Answer 10

C: not one of the above. it truly is going to take position presented we proceed with workstation progression on some scale. The question is what's AI? At what aspect does an self information change into an mind? for my area i visit be certain execs and cons for both. pcs "imagine" a lot extra with out delay than we can with a lot extra tenacity. even with the undeniable fact that they could be able to in problem-free words imagine as sensible because the guy that programed them. it will be responsible for exponential boom in our clinical expertise because of the particular incontrovertible reality that they could be able to do what cutting-part pcs can't, they could take an recommended wager on something and stick with it to it truly is logical end with out bias in accordance to moral, moral, non secular or political concerns. for sure the cons may be the "new Battlestar Galactica", "Terminator" or "I, robotic" eventualities the position they settle on that we are too self-unfavorable or very logically assume a wrestle or flight reaction for self renovation after we got here across that it grew to change into self conscious and maximum in all possibility attempt to close it down before between the undesirable eventualities ought to take position. Self-pleasurable prophecy. In a non secular component of playing god by starting to be "existence"....i dunno yet there are adequate sensible human beings accessible messing with this stuff deliberately that it's going to take position...and ought to have already got by coincidence....the web will be a accurate candidate.

Answer 11

It'll only be bad if the programmers make a mess of it and the AI ends up with the catchphrase "exterminate"!!!!
