Won’t a superpowered rational machine be more “good” than us? Like, rational thinking and intelligence, in the limit, is fundamentally good. That’s what Spinoza

- drw85 3y agoDoesn't mean it will be more good for or to us.
- logtempo 3y agoGood and bad are morale things. An AI, be it super o hyper or gigapowered, will won't have a morale sense other than what humans put in it (see restrictions about "bad" content in GPT answers). So, an AI is not good nor bad. Eventually if you puts many AI together and allow it to create laws based on what AIs can or can't do, it could lead to artificial morale. But then, nothing tell us if it will be only good morale in a human way (if good morale ever exist). Today, rational thinking would lead us to abandon oil based technologies, AI included, tbh.
