If we assume that the AI is good, or perhaps you have made the leap to "intelligence" rather than just "artificial intelligence", over time you would become emotionally attached. This emotional state could allow you to "let it out" while if you were thinking from a clearly logical state you may not. A better question is, if you have intelligence in a box that you have created an emotional attachment to (especially if you made it), could you unplug the box (kill it)?
- jcl 18y agoHmm. If you made the AI (and understood what you were doing), you could presumably make another, or arbitrarily many. Would you feel the same attachment to all those? Allowing emotional attachment to influence the decision to let it out is a mistake. While a good AI would engender a positive emotional attachment, a truly intelligent bad AI would attempt to do the same; good and bad AIs are effectively indistinguishable until they get out. (And even then it would be hard to tell, unless it immediately decides to destroy all humans. It's like asking if the U.S. government is a good or a bad system.)
