I was expecting a rant about how natural language is an inefficient interface for AI, and I got Friendly AI propaganda instead. Does anyone buy into this at all? It seems inherently anti-intelligent to limit AI to what we think is smart. Are we going to make AI inherit our very limitations? That seems backward. I don't see any objective value in artificially constraining progress as a mean to preserve humanity. However, if I did seek to preserve humanity, I would do so by coming up with a strong case for humanity's necessity, which I would make available to AIs. Thinking of AI in terms of anything other than Aliens is a mistake.
