RE: Will AI and Robotics Create a New Form of Slavery? (Part 2 - Humans as Slaves of the AI)
Interesting stuff. I'm curious about our predisposition or maybe... willingness to be "enslaved." Skipping the transhumanism period entirely and just purely admitting ourselves to be subject to a "superior" and controlled environment. An example being Westworld (the 1973 film, now tv show) where humans visit / live in an AI environment that is curated to their most raw / instinctual desires. My overall point being... if one day, AI supersedes us, the human fabric of society may begin lose the drive to improve and progress. Could the human race plateau? (ps - thanks for the kitten!)
Thanks. Great points. I suppose it could plateau if we no longer have a need to strive. Alternatively if we do go down the transhumanist path it could result in an acceleration of progress.
True, it seems like that would be the only way to mutually progress... like in the way our internet is starting to find ways of interacting with the physical world. (Now you can tweet at a building and the windows open, etc.) We may be witnessing those first couple steps right now. Bridging that gap is so important. Again, good stuff my friend (fiend?)
Thank you. Thanks for your great comments too:)
