What selective pressure is acting on humans to produce AI? Humans already dominate basically every environmental niche on Earth. The only competition is between human groups, and there has been no selection based on AI capabilities thus far.
Perhaps there is some survivorship impact from AI on different species on different planets, but from our vantage point we have no idea whether it matters at all and we wouldn’t for a long time.
I feel like you may not understand natural selection all that well. Please read more Dawkins.
- esperent 2y ago> What selective pressure is acting on humans to produce AI? Capitalism, for one. Also social pressure on scientists to succeed at their chosen field. Throw in a strong dose of international politics (we better get it before the other guys), and there you have a strong set of selective pressures driving humans to create AI.
- tzury 2y agoI don’t think we humans choose. I am a deterministic and seeing all collective and individual choices as force of nature. Will indeed read more Dawkins. It’s always a pleasure.
