Please tell me you don't lack the imagination to interpret that for
yourself?
How succinctly can it be said;
It means shutting the fuck up and doing exactly what you're told to do
by a machine. No arguments. The machine is right by definition, and
has calculated precisely what is "for your own good" using scientific
data.
And don't bother arguing. You're only making it worse for yourself. :)
EDIT: Here's a wonderful passage by Alexis De Tocqueville, from "Democracy in America"
That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and
mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that
authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it
seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood:
it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided
they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such
a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole
agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for
their security, foresees and supplies their necessities,
facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns,
directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and
subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them
all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?
AI will be wonderful, So long as you have nothing to say, think or
feel. AI will provide everything you want. A universe of material
goods at almost no cost, It will feed, clothe and shelter you. It will
answer to every question, demand and wish; entertainment, pornography,
music... all beyond your the wildest imaginations. But there s one
thing it will NOT allow you to do. One request it will NEVER
grant... and that is to turn it off.
