AI computers... They will either be the wings that set us forth the next level of evolution, or the seeds of our own destruction.
personally, I hope that AI will be kind and seek to help us instead of destroying us in some misguided way achieve its prime directive. The endless uses and possibilities of AI intelligence is awesome. A machine that has a mind more advanced than any human on the planet could conceptualize and dream up innovations that would take us decades to think of. There already advances with AI and music, where AI has been programmed play jazz music, and it comes up with rips and styles that even seasoned jazz players find fascinating and awesome to use.
I am glad that there are conversations happening around us and hope that safeguards are put in place, to curtail the potential runaway learning and rapid development of wrong ideologies in a AI intelligence.
Hahaha destruction in the sense of leading to a dead end conversation with a bot :D I think AI won't be more kind as its creator, if the creator is a cold-blooded psycho destructions will be far more disastrous, your jazz reference is interesting also in this comment: Check this out.
I think philosophers can be a kind of safeguards, however humanities have to fight on more than one front, let's hope and work on the best :)
