Human beings are biological machines. They aren't just brains and consciousnesses. They have bodies, with central and vegetative nervous systems; and they thrive for survival and reproduction. They are collections of selfish genes, to paraphrase Richard Dawkins. An AI is not. They don't have selfish genes, and therefore no need nor desire to survive or reproduce.
If a blind person told us that visual art is useless, would we believe them?
If a deaf person told us that music is useless, would we believe them?
If an AI told us that reproduction is useless, why should we believe it?
I agree that the AI will not necessarily feel compelled to continue its own existence (which I think is covered in the article), but the whole point is that it does not have the existence bias of biological organisms, and therefore if set the task of acting in the best interests of biological organisms, it may end all life, before taking itself out.
We should take the ai's word for the fact that the existence bias is irrational, because it is plain to see that no biological organism will regret its non-existence, but will be freed from the cycle of suffering and need. This would be a hard sell, as the existence bias is all consuming for most, but but the ai may decide to save us from ourselves, rather than putting the matter to a democratic vote. There is no need for us to continue existing, only our genes duping us into the belief that continuation of the cycle of life is a beneficial thing.
You are the ultimate hypocrite speaking from a position of living.
You advocate that all life ceases within a reproductive lifecycle for each organism and perhaps 100 years for humans.
It sucks to be you that you will NOT( as a living advocate of suicide and non reproduction) be the last living human to turn off the lights and shut the door.
You are one of the stupidest people I have ever encountered. I bid you good day.
...and it has for me been spent with my six grandchildren playing in the surf in a wonderful beach environment, laughing cuddling playing loving and making a 10th birthday cake, then walking our dogs, cuddling one who at five scraped her knee and just being SO GLAD TO BE ALIVE, LIVING AND LOVING at the autumn end of a wonderful life, which has been beset with human problems, deaths and horror...yet it is the best gift for any human being...yes some have less, to extreme degrees, which are totally unrelated to my JOY... for whatever reason I have been blessed, and I have taken nothing from another living human being in my just plain being here.
I feel sorry for you that you have not had that.
I will never let you spoil this for me and NEVER answer you again.
Your aim is to bring people and evolutions and life on earth down.
Sucked in....NEVER gonna happen. Bye.
