Why does an AI need the ability to "dislike" to calculate that its goals are best accomplished without any living humans around to interfere? Superintelligence

Why does an AI need the ability to "dislike" to calculate that its goals are best accomplished without any living humans around to interfere? Superintelligence doesn't need emotions or consciousness to be dangerous.
- Yoric 1y agoIt needs to optimize for something. Like/dislike is an anthropomorphization of the concept.
- mrob 1y agoIt's an unhelpful one because it implies the danger is somehow the result of irrational or impulsive thought, and making the AI smarter will avoid it.
- Yoric 1y agoThat's not how I read it. Perhaps because most of the smartest people I know are regularly irrational or impulsive :)
- ben_w 1y agoI think most people don't get that; look at how often even Star Trek script writers write Straw Vulcans*. * https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StrawVulcan https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StrawVulcan
