Why is there a widespread fear of AI?

• MichaelMoser123 10y ago
  Since Aristotle the idea of intelligence has been used as a legitimization of oppression: the master is smarter than the slave, therefore it is his natural right to rule. By analogy it is feared that the same logic applies to AI versus Humans.

  fear of being inferior. fear of the unknown world it will create. fear of it being omnipotent. fear of it being wrong. fear of losing control. fear of terminator...

    OK if it originated with something that Aristotle said then it's more significant then the other fears.

      ... at least that's the case if one assumes that philosophy matters. That used to be one of the assumptions of Western Thought (TM).
