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
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?
At some point you may be able to rewire a brain to overcome those fears but at that point why do so at all when a synthetic mind would be vastly more capable and easier to produce or alter?
Because it can hinder life
Because being afraid of spiders, or as another example, being hydrophobic, can be extremely detrimental to the progress of the whole
Spiders are poisonous and this is a problem for things with organic systems that can be effected by an organic poison and can't instantly adapt or overcome such a poison
Water is mandatory for life, yet there are still people who are hydrophobic
And EMPs and solar flares are lethal to machines and electronigs
