>it's so close to zero that it doesn't matter. How can you so confidently assert that? AI just needs to beat humans at AI research to start compounding it's growth in performance. >It won't be the servant of the creators Human's are very paranoid and competitive because we've had to be for tens of thousands of generations to survive. Super intelligent or not why would AI start ignoring instructions or develop a survival instinct? This line of thinking has been popular in science fiction but what is it based on? Just because something is smarter than us, it will kill us, as Eliezer Yudkowsky asserted "because it wants our atoms"? It seems like we are viewing AI through a human lens. Superintelligence under human control is what scares the shit out of me. I see superintelligence as the only thing capable of saving humans from themselves. |

Because I've seen no strong reason to think otherwise. However, everyone -- myself included -- is just guessing here. I could certainly be wrong. As could the ones of the opposite opinion.

That's assuming that it's possible to create an AGI at all given our current direction. I seriously doubt that it is. Time will tell, though.
