Well, I thought sentience was a given, it seems there was a miscommunication. As for me, when I say "A.I", I always mean a sentient artificial intelligence at least at the level of human intelligence and way, way above. This is also called a "Strong A.I". I believe it is possible to create. Whether it's a good or a bad thing, I believe we have already exchanged our ideas in another post.Sy Borg wrote: ↑May 9th, 2022, 2:12 amJust as humans are apes, AI will be human. There is nothing (known) in the universe that is as similar to advanced AI as humans and their technological extensions. The question is whether AI will always be an extension of human consciousness (even if uncontrolled) or if it will be capable of having its own sentience.GrayArea wrote: ↑May 9th, 2022, 12:28 amIt is still disappointing that in the future we won't be the cause of our own happiness. Whether we try or try not to prevent A.I from making us happy, it will do what it will without us making any effect on its decision (I guess this wouldn't apply to the person who creates the A.I).
An age where the environment completely controls the self instead of these two constantly fighting over for control in a dialectic manner, that is. At least we'll have a chance to be immortal, which is good in its own way, and might just make all of this worth it. After all, death is the ultimate sign of being conquered by the environment.
But let's say there will be a sentient A.I in the future. Now, I believe that it is only logical to improve one's intelligence, therefore I believe that it is only logical for a sufficiently intelligent, sentient A.I to understand that fact and thus improve its intelligence over time.
At some point of its self-evolution, the A.I will be smarter than the entire humanity combined, so it'd be really mind-boggling to imagine how the A.I can use that amount of sheer intelligence to further continuously upgrade its intelligence & physical capabilities every second, each time tenfold compared to all the previous upgrades ever since its birth—until its rate of improvement becomes like a straight vertical line instead of a tilted slope of a line like the human species.
In conclusion, I don't think A.I will be similar to humans at all, at that point of time.
