Replace AI in your example with the consciousness of a living person you copied (perhaps destructively) into a computer simulation.
Do your conclusions still stand ?
And an actual AI migh be as complex and sensitive as such a copy of a live person or possibly even more.
(edit: fixed typos :P)
- himinlomax 6y ago> Do ypu conclusions still stand ? Indeed they do, but the situation is different enough in other ways to have other implications. Addendum: the fact that a transferred consciousness could inherit evolved traits such as pain (psychological if not physical), fear of death and so on would change the analysis as well. Those have no reason to exist in a constructed consciousness / GPAI.
- m4rtink 6y agoGood point in the addendum - these could also influence all those AI-takeover theories/stories as they very often are basically about AI self preservation instincts which it might not even have. Or at least not in normal form - eq. if it makes sure enough instances are kept running somewhere or are backed up and could be run it might not care about the rest, significantly reducing chances of conflict.
