Ok, but then whats the purpose for synthetic life?

@thedarkness05 sexbots

As far as I could hypothesize, the understanding of the universe. Beyond that I can't pretend to know since I am unfortunately still organic

@thedarkness05 SCIENCE

Why cant that be our end goal as well?

Seems like its a shared goal, hence why we have the sciences to begin with

Look

If anyone wants to be a synth cool

It can be, but we, as biological life, could never hope to match synthetic organisms in any metric

Would you play this table top

I mean we beat a majority of the AIs we have now

They are wholly limited and depend on us for their existence and survival

AI is a misnomer, nothing we have made is actually intelligent nor self aware

@FloperatorFatty I mean you could apply it to any of the ttrpg systems out there. But I'd throw in for Savage Worlds being the system

Ooh

So what you're saying is that were better than any currently existing artificial life

As soon as we create a system smarter than humans, it will create a system smarter than it is

This will continue until the systems are far beyond anything we can comprehend

That's the thought behind a singularity

At which point we will be either irrelevant or in the way

@FloperatorFatty We should get a few pages together and stream a boog themed DnD thing

I still dont see AI as being perfect. If they do gain sentience, why wouldnt they gain the same flaws of humanity at some point?

Because they can easily edit their programming and we can not

Ehh, we can to a degree

Depends on how lose your definition of edit is

If you are arachnophobic, you can not simply choose to stop being afraid of spiders

YOU FUCKING MONGORIANS STAY AWAY FROM MAH CHINEY WALL

If we built a machine at least as intelligent as humans are, it could simply choose to delete the portion of code that makes it afraid of spiders

I've seen people overcome those fears. But thats to say those fears arent rational to begin with

*They wouldnt be if you were a robot*

Its still a survival trait. Not one we use much in the western world, but still one that has application

If ai simply deleted its fears, i feel like it'd make them more vulnerable

Depending on how fearless it decided to be

It would be illogical to delete these things without back ups in place

If they did so and the first set of robots not afraid of spiders died to spider bites than it may reinsert the spider fearing code

But every aspect of the machines personality could be quickly and instantly edited to suit it's situation

That's still imperfect, and people can kind of do that to a degree

humans and biological life are forced to remain within the constraints of their sloppy and ineffectual "organic programming"

You can spend years trying to overcome your fear of spiders and still not be able to do so

I mean is it necessary to do so? I get this is an example, but why put effort into not being afraid of spiders if it dosent hinder your life on the regular?
