Can your brain functions be replicated by a computer?
That's a hard question to answer.
And I'm not sure it actually matters at the end of the day.
It does.
Since you don't need a full brain to do that many tasks.
That's the question, is there something magical about being human that makes us irreplaceable by a robot brain.
we dont know how, but its possible
Now we're just debating metaphysics.
nah
No we're not.
its possible, but compare it to like:
"Can we live on any planet?"
Sure, just gotta learn to terraform
And terraforming takes hundreds of years.
exactly
is it possible? yes
Can we do it now? Fuck no
One thing I would point out with this AI stuff.
You saying that AI will NEVER replace X job is the same thing as people who said they'll never flay, they'll never break the sound barrier, they'll never split the atom, and so on.
It doesn't entirely matter. If AI starts becoming sufficiently powerful, we'll integrate it into ourselves.
And then it's a completely different distinction.
Now that's just fallacious.
There's been lots of stuff people have said would happen that never did.
Look at old sci-fi. People wonder over all the stuff they got right but forget all the stuff they got wrong.
we'd have a moonbase by 1980
We could.
We just did have a economic motive to do it
Didn't have one that is.
Humans are not horses, is the main issue with the argument against market solving the problem
It's a gross oversimplification of the issue
I'd argue there's an even deeper issue. Everyone gets this strong AI/human distinction. But it doesn't exist.
Who said anything about it not be an optimal state?
Why would you not want automation to take over.
If I send a person into a field and s/he uses his/her cellphone in the process do I account that to the person or the cell phone?
to fuck over people 😉
Also the cashier example is funny, considering people are stealing groceries in ways they couldn't before
If AI is sufficiently powerful, it integrates with humans.
That's not true at all.
Like cell phones integrated with most people rendering some tasks moot.
Like, you don't need to be a skilled navigator anymore.
How has facebook integrated with humans other than to distract and enrage us?
