Why treat AI like a single thing? Wouldn't the openness of code lead to a plethora of AI with different demeanors, towards humans, life, and each other?

- vertex-four 12y agoWe don't have a reasonable open web search engine - what leads you to think it's definite that we'll have a top-of-the-range open AI?
- therealdrag0 12y agoI don't think it's definite at all; I'm just remarking in a conversation of speculation.
- bad_user 12y agoI don't think so. If we are speaking of an AI that is self-aware, then code will have as much to do with its behavior as our own DNA. I also think that even if multiple AIs happen, they'll converge into a single one. If we would be able to connect to other people's feelings and thoughts, would we would still be able to think and act as individuals? I don't think so. This is what I meant above - an AI will not grow in a human body to have a human-like childhood, will not receive input from the same sensors we have and will not have the same limitations that we do. For example, contrary to us, it will have an enormous memory capacity, which is interesting if you think about it, because for the human brain forgetfulness can be seen as a feature.
- therealdrag0 12y agoI agree that it wouldn't be shaped by a childhood, but I think it merging into one is entirely optional. "code will have as much to do with its behavior as our own DNA." That's what I was saying, and that can be changed to be significantly different just by changing the code.
