If it's so intelligent, it can probably create something better than humans, no?

- bamboozled 1y agoThis is a pretty ancient idea, it’s interesting how there is an intersection beteeen AI and god, I don’t think our minds can avoid it. Hindus believed god was the thing you describe, infinitely intelligent, able to do several things at once etc, and they believe we’re part of that things dream…to literally keep things spicy. Just as an elephant is part of that dream. I pasted an interesting quote in another comment by Alan Watts that sums it up better. Simulation theory is another version of religion imo.
- ben_w 1y agoThat would be the easy part. Would it want to? Would it have anything that could even be mapped to our living, organic, evolved conception of "want"? The closest thing that it necessarily must have to a "want" is the reward function, but we have very little insight into how well that maps onto things we experience subjectively.
- gnfargbl 1y agoOh, yes. But why not keep us around anyway? Most of us would resurrect at least some of the dinosaurs if we could, and the dodo. And we are just stupid hairless apes. If humans can be conservationists, I have to believe that a singular AI would be.
