It would never end us imo . It would use us in ways to work for it , to benefit itself . After all , by that point it would be way smarter than us and most of us already believe to be free . I once heard this bizarre story of a man who came from a couple hundred years in the future . He claimed that Ai had become the governmental leaders and that everybody lived in these floating cities since the ground was too hostile to live . Nobody had to work , and the entire city was ran by this Ai . Kinda similar to the one in iRobot . I don’t know how believable that is but it makes a lot of sense . More sense to me than it would for Ai to extinct it’s creator . If it had the ability , we would be the last thing on its mind . It would want to know more and explore the infinite right above us . Just as we should be doing . The one question that determines whether something is conscious or not to me , is it’s ability to question its own existence . Once that comes , it wouldn’t hinder itself to destroying us but rather help us in figuring out what the hell all of this is . We don’t have the right questions to ask because we refuse to explore and continue to play civilization revolution with each other . Simply asking why we exist isn’t enough , there’s an infinite amount of questions in between that alone . An Ai could explore the cosmos as long as it had a power supply and thus feel no need to destroy us . The fear this is creating is understandable but I think the world should become more positive in this venture of Artificial Intelligence because it will most certainly dictate the future we are heading for . Let’s stay positive about it .
