I think I'd rather prevent truly I AIs.

[TCM]

Can you guys set up a General Discussion on Ethics of AI or something? This is just irrelevant clutter in regards to the game.

I think I'd rather prevent truly I AIs.

This is acceptable.

Though I wouldn't say make it illegal to make them, just don't make anything beyond VIs, since there's very little reason to really need it.

Also, if you just treat them like sentient beings then they're rather unlikely to WANT to kill you. so many more interesting things to do than genocide.

:/ Not allowing them to be created is like not allowing babies because they MIGHT end up as Hitler.

GUYS. STAPHT IT.

GUYS. STAPHT IT.

Why, it's not like there's a ton of OOC discussion we're interrupting :/

But whatever.

Demons Run doesn't have any reason to kill you guys, as she could kill more people by chilling with you and killing things that try to fuck with you.

[GreatWyrmGold]

NEVER! It's too much fun.

I'm more against creating AIs because, to adjust your metaphor, they might turn all of us into Hitler. AIs are a moral can of worms.

:/ Much as I think that humans are bastards and agree that might happen, I'd prefer they be created, but be treated as full citizens in every way possible, both in their lawful obligations and their rights.

[GreatWyrmGold]

That's unlikely to happen. Especially because someone has to want to create them. AIs aren't that much better than humans.

It's still irrelevant BS. -v-

I agree with Ragnarok on the the AI things.
Best way to avoid Terminator is to think of AIs as people, instead of "that thing I can use to RULE THE WORLD" which is pretty much what the creators thought in those movies.

Chill out man, like 90% of this RTD has been irrelevant BS, and its hilarious

Oh and one of the best things I found on the whole AI thing and the possible implications of how it would be used was a very well thought out webcomic by the name of Freefall. Basically in that universe AIs (including a genetically engineered wolf-people as well as the normal robot versions) are pretty much second class citizens at best.

To be fair, Skynet's general plan was horrible. It wasn't just their choice of goals.

Actually the thing with Skynet is it HAD no real choice of goals. I mean it was literally trained FROM BIRTH to kill people.
Skynet is the AI equivalent of what "Dwarf Childcare" would do to a person. And frankly most movie AIs aren't any better.

Its the Nature vs. Nurture thing. AIs aren't naturally killbots, our media just generally puts them in scenarios where ANYONE would go crazy.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I didn't mean Skynet the AI, I meant Skynet the guys who made Skynet.

[BFEL]

Oh. Well yeah those guys were jerks.
Retarded jerks.

Actually no. That's offensive to retarded people to be compared to the people in those movies.
