Lets start doing human clones and hardcore gene editing then, by the same line of thinking. /s
I'm actually on the side of continuing to develop AI and shush the naysayers, but "we should do it cause otherwise someone else will" is reasoning that gets people to do very nasty things.
- XorNot 4y agoThe reason we don't do human genetic engineering is the moral hazard of creating people who will suffer their entire lives intentionally (also the round trip time on an experiment is about 100 years). You can iterate on an AI much faster.
- anticensor 4y agoRouhd trip time is about 21 years, not about 100 years, if we allow natural reproduction of GMO/cloned humans.
- XorNot 4y agoEstablishing that your genetic modification system doesn't result in everyone getting cancer and dying past age 25 is quite the problem before you roll it out to the next generation.
