People lamenting the invention of the calculator were concerned that people would forget how to do math themselves.
however there would still be people born by the elites who have a higher chance of being disabled as being disabled in a automated society is a lot easier
People today may still use a calculator for 4+4, or 2*18 or the like
Not because they can't figure out that the first is 8 or the later is 36
But because it speeds the process up
The calculator enhances a person's abilities.
I think there are two paths AI can go.
There's the direction of Automation, where human capability is replaced by machine precision
what if you created a device that made it so that you no longer have to do math at all? like unless you want to do math, every math you could want to do is done before you even knew a math was needed to be done?
thats automation
Where human production skills are waylaid by systems that do it all for us.
we already have that Arch, its called a computer
Naah, that still requires user input.
yeah
I know what Arch is getting at.
So, AI Enhancement would lead to a future where people are still defining the future, but would be able to be more efficient about it.
given the potential to solve such a large number of problems, do you think you can stop any of this? Do you really think after all this time anyone could stop it?
Let's say you've got an AI with you at all times - not a simple computer, mind you, but something you're able to shoulder some of your daily burden on to for life. Essentially micro-automation
the only way to get people providing for themselves over welfare is make it socially benefitial to be self sufficient
That would be something that could amplify human ability as opposed to replacing it.
once this technology exists in the world, you can't put it back in the bottle
so you want to tell me, you will get every human on earth to stop researching this
tell russia and china to stop developing tech to beat the us
No.
tell the us to stop developing tech to beat russia and china
I'm saying reject it.
only the implamentation of the tech is the problem, the understanding of how to implament it is not dangerous.
It only replaces us if we let it, financially.
we made it TO replace us
We didn't.
Someone else did.
if we didn;t want it to, we wouldn't make it
no, we. humans
So long as any of us have a dollar to our name, we can reject it.
chances are it won't be someone, but several someones
probably in different areas of the world
again, as i said you need for people to want to work in order to prevent them from choosing not to work and still benefit from the same standard of living
most inventions, even things like electricity or the lightbulb, had multiple people who reached similar ideas, in different parts of the world, unrelated to one another.
so thats why i say we
people will do anything you want them to if you convence them they want to
