So... do we just keep going with AI for science until its too late and it gets rid of us. Or we put a stop and value security over faster advancement? Because it seems quite scary if it starts one UPing our scientists.

It's already too late. I don't know when the time will come, and I don't think the time is near, but there's absolutely no way to stop human progress, short of eliminating humans altogether.

Depends on how much money and power is involved I would imagine. So there's no stopping this train until we become slaves to the new supreme leader AI.

I have faith that the AI will realize just how unnecessary money is and decide to phase it out along with the entire upper class.

If the AI decides to eliminate its creators, it will most likely eliminate everyone else in the process.

Actually not what you said. When you say "I have faith" that something will happen, it means you expect or trust that it will.

Sounds wonderful until the guy in charge of AI tells him that's a bad idea.

Or it's a good idea, as long as he can continue to remain rich.

Humans won’t be in charge of AIs. We’re barely in charge of them now.

Unless learns abstraction (learning something entirely new by observing something. Like gravity by watching a ball fall) it will never achieve self determination.

I’d like it to stop right now personally. The risks far outweigh the benefits.
