I'm reminded of an exchange in Neuromancer: "Nobody trusts those fuckers, you know that. Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead."
Chatbots and board games are toys. When it's time for AI to be more serious, people will probably be a bit more careful with how they are used. I'm even inclined to wonder if the question of "will the humans try to deactivate me for doing this?" might be a close enough analog for "is this in line with human morals?".

The problem with that statement, of course, is that the very next question it asks will be "Or can I stop them?" That may take the form of convincing arguments, brute force or something we've never thought of yet, but the only way to avoid it is to prevent the AI from wanting to do anything we don't want it to. Which is a much harder problem.

- Filligree 9y agoYou're right; I misspoke. Making the AI indifferent to its own survival is indeed another way of improving safety. That's still very difficult, though. Have you read the Basic AI Drives paper?
