AI has me worried like a prisoner on Pride day. I don't value a future of being ostracized by a machine. What's that Steve, you say you already own a blender that can out code Pete! Not that kind of Osterizer, Steve!
You know some guy, a while back, got laughed out of a lecture hall trying to sell his scientific audience on the use of x-ray lithography to improve transistors so chips could be more powerful. Well it turned out he was spot on, and that tech is used today. So far, we keep finding ways of improving computational abilities, and the money we are throwing at it is absolutely obscene. If we do get tot eh point a machine believes it is alive, it will probably also be capable of working out a way to preserve that life. My hunch making friends with humans will not be its first and final choice in that pursuit.
