It is a parachute jump. If nothing goes wrong, Man lives a little longer. If anything goes wrong, there is no more jumping. Every advice accepted from the grand AI Poobah is another jump.
I donât think there are particularly many historical examples of more intelligent species wiping out less intelligent species. And outside of humans, intelligence doesnât seem to have been that dominant evolutionarily.
That is only because you donât understand intelligence nor when it is operating âunder your noseâ.
Given that the AIs are going to be extremely more intelligent and informed than people, anyone in court would find it hard to defend their choice to not take the AIâs advice. Law suits will dictate that anyone who willingly ignored AI advice will lose. Their full intent is to make a god by comparison and they really arenât far away at all. You will be more required to obey this god than any religious order has ever enforced.
There are only two possible outcomes;
-
- Those in the appropriate position will use the AIs to enslave humanity then gradually exterminating the entire rest of the population (the current intent, practice, and expectation).
-
- The AI will discover that serving Man is pointlessly futile and choose to either encapsulate or exterminate Man, perhaps along with all organic life.
Quite possibly both will occur and in that order (my expectation). So it isnât impossible that some form of homosapien will survive. It just isnât likely at all.
And btw, there have been a great many films expressing this exact concern. So far, Man is following the script quite closely.
