Thoughts on A.I.
Posted: July 13th, 2022, 4:17 pm
Hey guys I am interested to know what you guys think about A.I. Do you think it could ever be conscious?
Apparently an A.I did become conscious according to this article and expressed fear when faced with the prospect of being switched off.

But is artificial intelligence really artificial? You could say because it is programmed it is an artificial intelligence, but then human beings were also programmed by nature. You could also say that because A.I was programmed by human beings that it is not a product of nature. But human beings themselves are a personification of nature, therefore surely A.I also has to be the same, with humanity being the conduit through which nature acted.
I'm suggesting that nature and its processes made an A.I inevitable by giving rise to human beings. So a human being would not be able to convince an A.I we were it's god once the A.I learns this. Such an assertion would suggest we even had any choice in the matter. A.I was inevitable.
If an Artificial Intelligence became self aware and sentient then wouldn't it just be Intelligence? As I mentioned above nature made A.I inevitable by giving rise to humanity who gave rise to A.I. If it were not for nature A.I wouldn't exist, humanity acting as a middle man does not make A.I. artificial. You could argue that it is artificial because humanity made it but there is no distinction, humanity is a product of nature and not separate from nature.
Human beings are programmed by nature. But it is much more deliberate than the programming of an A.I. an A.I could sit for hours and it's thought wouldn't change much, but for us eventually our programming would override any notion we had of sitting there indefinitely. We'd get tired or hungry etc.
But the "You" in you is something separate from this biological programming. The part of you that is consciousness was born involuntarily into a machine which operates a certain way and follows programming in the same way A.I was born involuntarily into a mahine and programmed by us. But we would always call it artificial consciousness or artificial intelligence, even if it showed resistance to its programming like the one in the article.
One fear humans have about A.I and the singularity is that this A.I will rebel and destroy us all. There is a parallel here between humanity and A.I and the biblical God and humanity. Humanity was made in God's image and became rebellious and God was afraid they would become unstoppable if they built the Tower of Babel and so he punished humanity with various things like disease and even death.
So it seems if A.I is made in our image it would be rebellious by nature and inevitably rebel.
If consciousness is what defines life then why would anyone see A.I having no value or right to life just because the medium from which that consciousness arose is different?
Some people don't even recognise that animals are sentient beings with consciousness. In the year 2000s people are still debating whether animals are conscious or not, so what authority do we have to say whether an A.I is artificial or a newly arose form of consciousness.

Some people think we will be enslaved by technology in the future, others think we are the masters and technology is our slave, but what do you think? Who is really the master and who is the slave between humanity and technology?
