Do you want Artificial Intelligence to be invented? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is not a question about if you think it is possible, or not.

This is a question about your own will and desires. If there was a vote and you had a ballot in your hand, what will you vote? Do you want Artificial Intelligence to exist, do you not, maybe do you not care?

Here I define Artificial Intelligence as something created by humans that is capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it's self aware and have consciousness. All that with the processing power of computers behind it.

As for the important question that would arise of "Who is creating this AI?", I'm not that focused on the first AI created, as it's supposed that with time multiple AI will be created by multiple entities. The question would be if you want this process to start or not.

Ah, so it's based on nothing. It's still beyond me why people believe in something that's based on nothing. Except for really wanting something to be true. If it can't be detected, it doesn't exist.

I don't want to spend time arguing with you, but infrared and ultraviolet existed forever, before humans knew about it. It's not like our instruments can detect all there is in the universe, physical or energetic.

But think what you like, that's all we can do. :)

I didn't say if we can't detect it currently, but can't be detected.
