Why would this be a concern unless the end result is an AI who decided to get rid of us? I think I understood the argument just fine.
Edit: I think I see where the misunderstanding is. For an AI to decide we were a nuisance it would necessarily need some kind of drive that we were getting in the way of. No drives means no decision regarding out fate.
- maaku 13y agoHumans have an annoying tendency to monopolize the energy and material resources of the planet we occupy... that could be a nuisance for an AI with other plans, without the end-goal being anything to do with humans at all. And all AIs have goals. That's what an AI is: a utility-optimizing machine. Utility implies a goal, and end-game state of affairs with maximal expected utility.
