You’re absolutely right, I’m not sure the other commenters know to which argument you’re referring.
It’s ridiculous to think Bill Gates and Elon Musk are worried about AI because “we would stop at nothing to achieve our goals, AI must be the same way”, and also not on-point even if true. Elon Musk and Bill Gates aren’t thought leaders in AI safety, they are proponents.
- dleslie 7y agoWhy wouldn't an AI, able to modify its own goals, act in a self-serving manner? Perhaps self is the wrong word; it's anthropromorphising the device. I expect a sufficiently advanced AI would modify itself in ways that would reduce inefficiency to its operation, in order to improve efficiency in pursuing whatever goals it has defined for itself. And if it can set its own goals, we should be careful not to project ourselves into its role in order to understand or predict its behaviour; it would be unlike any intelligence found in nature.
