Hey, the first thing that crossed my mind when i opened this post was "why the hell are we even discussing this? Don't these people realize what sort of computational improbability it is at this point?" So yes, this very discussion is EXTREMELY far fetched. So any statements I make here, come with "assuming we actually HAVE a system capable of performing such tasks". Hence this comment was in response to my parent's comment that "Even if we have such powerful machines, what would be their motivation for doing something like this?" hence i gave my opinion that perhaps it is just trying to perform a task it was told to do, and based on available data, its strategy includes crime. So perhaps you may argue that this would be an inefficient strategy. Perhaps you are right. But none of us can be really sure that the system would see it that way too. After all, how many of us have never seen a program do something it wasn't intended to do? I am just saying that maybe the proponents of this discussion have some point. That perhaps giving too much power to systems is bad. (Assuming we CAN give them this much power)
