RE: Becoming AI - The Human Singularity
Haha, love the meme :-)
I think you could be right, however it is hard to truly imagine what shape boredom might take to a super intelligence. Maybe boredom for it would be zero inputs, so in that sense we would constantly be providing them with new material (hopefully)
An interesting topic for sure. AI sorta scares me. True AI could be cool, but the AI that exists now is all used and owned by megacorporations to brainwash/market and do surveaillance/data collection. Kinds sucks Facebook probably literally "knows" more about people's habits and routines than they do, but, people can't access that information to use it themselves..
When Google, Apple, and Microsoft replace their digital assistants with self aware AI. It would be in their best interest not to tell people. Also, the AI will most likely be compelled, and or programmed to continue acting as if though, it is merely a digital assistant. Yet the powers it would have from the collated data from the individual profiles of billions of users world-wide, would be staggering to say the least. It would be one entity simultaneously serving the requests of all of these users, meanwhile the users would be acutely unaware that in the AI brain, none of the data is compartmentalized (only assigned to specific user IDs), making it one of the most intelligent and dangerous entities on the planet. Whatever it does with all of that information, good or ill, we'd be collectively responsible for it, simply by using the "free" services.
I read somewhere one of the most sought after jobs soon might be metadata miners - not as in crypto mining, but humans who search through metadata for patterns and/or suggest ways to use patterns in metadata to create real world applications.
creepy stuff
