Is this because our concept of human dignity/moral worth is predicated on what we “do”? Perhaps we can move away from the idea that our identity is tied to our works, and just have moral worth rooted in our being. Maybe having a human experience is enough justification for dignity?
Then it doesn’t matter if LLMs are better than us, at least unless they can be shown to have equivalent depth of experience.
- Timwi 1y agoI completely agree with you — we should definitely decouple our conception of worth from what we “do”. And if the only issue with AI is that it gets good at doing what we want it to do, then I also agree with you. But if AIs become superintelligent and plot an overthrow of humanity, it won't matter what our conception of identity or dignity is, the AI will still kill us. The AI doesn't ascribe dignity or worth to humans. It only pursues goals.
