not really, because AI isn't really our species, and given all of the other creation we've been doing - having to do with other animals, taking care of them, nurturing them, and eventually supporting 150 billion of them dying each year plenty of times when we had a chance to incorporate what science calls "homo something" (neanderthals and the like) members of our family, we've exterminated them due to looking weirdly and behaving differently from us - just because we had some more superior characteristics we couldn't respect our fellow evolutionary brothers, how can we respect something that was a pure materialistic creation it took centuries for slavery to be abolished, there's still parts of the world where it's accepted it'll take a lot for us to shift from seeing that cleaning lady robot that we chat with every single day, as something that is equivalent to us in spirit and that it deserves to have a right to freedom of movement, right to avoid pain (physical or psychological). people will consider AI as pure machines, while on the other hand they will accept their biological machine as a miracle, both machines are giving spark to intelligence but one will be more worth than another damn, we have the needs for water, food, shelter, companionship, procreation, we understand the world around us, otherwise we wouldn't survive, the same is true for almost every other non-human animal, and we have no problem with their massive deaths i really hope that our morals, mentality will get the same exponential shift that technology brings, the past evidence seems to point to bad stuff, but I guess we're just on the knee of the curve :D |
