Reply to comment by AsuhoChinami in AI doomers everywhere on youtube by Ashamed-Asparagus-93

I feel like even here people generally don’t think big enough. If we manage to create AGI with greater than human capabilities, we’ll have basically invented god.

It’s probably impossible to imagine what that could mean.

Or the devil.

Ai is a force multiplier. It can improve and degrade things in equal measure.

I'm more positive, but it certainly can create hell, as well as it create heaven.

Something that should be noted when a point like this is made is the whole merging process

What I mean is many might assume humans will idly stand by as the AI does its thing. I think we'll be more connected and involved, literally and physically

That is why it's called the singularity, it's impossible to predict what hapens after the singularity started, it truly is an event horizon on the time axis that we can't even see.

that understanding won’t stop clickbaiters from creating clickbait, though

You believe "we'll have basically invented god" and at the same time comment that 'AI doomers' shouldn't be doomer about it? Alright, you guys are fucking weird. Maybe get the ethics department a bigger space when it comes to AI before you literally like you said, create some kind of fucking devil. The discussions here are never about ethics, always just about how to get there faster and how wrong people are for wanting to slow down.

Ethics are regularly discussed here from what I’ve seen. Also developing an AGI/ASI does not automatically mean it’ll form into a “devil”. All we’re saying there’s still some level of uncertainty. The problem with even discussing it is that it’s so hard to predict what’ll come out of it, all we can hope for the best. Some might feel it’s not worth the risk but I feel like it considering the potential upside could solve just about every human problem known to mankind if we implement it right.

Where did I say that or even imply it..?

God exists in a reality beyond what can be measured or created by science.

I’m rather skeptical of that, but regardless, artificial super intelligence will be so far beyond human abilities that it will seem god-like.

I used to think in a similar way. Today I think it is not possible. An AI is just an algorithm. How are you going to generate an algorithm for everything ? For every possible situation ? It would have to be conscious and that is impossible. Something, that is conscious, has to be built in a certain way, which our current computers are not.

“Something that is conscious has to be built in a certain way, which our current computers are not.”

Remarkable! So you’ve single-handedly solved the hard problem of consciousness? Do tell: is consciousness substrate-dependent? What is the specific architecture that makes it possible?

Thank you, but the honour is not for me. Have you ever heard of the 'Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness' ? And yes, consciousness is substrate-dependent. The mechanism is too complicated to explain it here. But you can read it for yourself. It's an interesting theory.
