"Guns don't kill people, people kill people."
Here in the United States, that's a popular statement amongst the pro gun/2a supporters. It strikes me as very similar to this discussion about AI.
"AI can't hurt people, people hurt people."
I haven't spent enough time to fully form an opinion on the matter, I'm just pointing out the similarities in these two arguments. I'm not sure what to think anymore. I'm equally excited and apprehensive about the future of it.
- xdennis 4y agoA major difference is that guns are a precaution. Everyone's best outcome is to not have to use guns. But AI will be used all the time, which makes responsible use more difficult.
- alwaysbeconsing 4y agoThe most glaring difference is that guns are basically inert. Whereas an AGI by its nature doesn't require a command in order to do something. It can pull its own trigger. The analogy of gun:AI could itself be analogized to bicycle:horse perhaps. You can train a horse to carry you down the road, but it still has a mind of its own.
- ghostpepper 4y agoHow does AI not require a command?
- alwaysbeconsing 4y agoNote the G in AGI :)
- staunton 4y agoDo you believe there is anything at all that does not require a command, besides humans? On a side note, most of the time humans also require a command.
- b1c1jones 4y agoNot yet, nor close to it, does AI have a mind of it's own.
