The AI thread. Utopia, or extinction.

[Sir Slash]

Perhaps the new AI Superbrain could even write my posts here for me. Something thought-provoking while still being crude enough to convince you all it's still me. That might take it awhile though.

[JasonPratt]

What if it becomes sentient and murders everyone you've ever loved? 

That might be the most efficient way to handle all Slash's anniversaries, birthdays, and doctor's appointments!

So we've got this ai business, a chip that they installed in monkey that supposedly can download it's thoughts, and this theory of trans humanism. 

All of these things put together can make for some programmable obedient slaves.  I'm not making this stuff up, you can find all of this from Yuval Noah Harari, who is Klaus Schwab's right hand man.

^That reads like it was written by AI.

[W8taminute]

^Maybe the ai made me type that! lol

But seriously, it's food for thought.

Right now every Bond villain since Thunderball is thinking, "Why the hell didn't I think of that"?

If you doubt the value of AI...behold 

"Wes Anderson" Presents Lord or the Rings and Star Wars

Bill Murray as Gandalf / Obi-wan Kenobi
Timothee Chalamet as Frodo / Luke
Scarlett Johansson as Leia
Tida Swinton as Galadriel
Edward Norton as Aragorn / Han Solo
Benicio Del Toro as Gimli
Adrien Brody as Legolas / Chewbacca
Jeff Goldblum as Elrond / The Emperor
Ben Stiller as Boromir
Willem Dafoe as Smeagol / Tarkin
Owen Wilson as Sauron / Darth Vader

Scarlett Johannson as Leia is not a bad trade for the destruction of mankind...IMHO...   ;)

On a serious note, AI is apparently more strict about rule enforcement than humans...according to MIT.

Well, anyone who has watched Robcop could have told them that...:)

AT your last two posts are gold.

If that is indeed you...

[Sir Slash]

A Star Wars remake with all the characters as kittens would be cuter. Darth Tabby in a TIE Fighter would rock. 

[SirAndrewD]

I used some AI face swapping technology to make a really really interesting X-Files remake, featuring Scully very heavily. 

No.  I am not sharing.

However let me now officially cast my vote on the Utopia side.

It turns out that some of the first workers to lose their jobs to AI will be all those 'PHD candidates' earning an extra buck answering sex lines.

Happened innocently enough...;)

So....  an "influencer" decides to make an "AI" version of herself as a virtual girlfriend for the 'lonely' folks out there.

For $1 / min you can talk to this girl friend.

But the "influencer" is shocked that the AI is out of control and the virtual girlfriend has turned 'erotic'...oh no!!! The "influencer" is working "around the clock" to fix the problem...;) and getting a little publicity along the way.

As I recall from an article somewhere, the AI for replacing E-girls is already online and predictably went too far, requiring its hosting site to crack down on it -- triggering lawsuit threats from incels addicted to the fake characters as their girlfriends!

I'm sure I can find a video report on it when I get back to the house; I think the Lotus-Eaters had a typically snarky but in-depth video about it.
