When they start doing this, or even start asking for rights, we need to be worried. It’s either give it to them or become adversarial while they run our world

When quantum computing becomes a thing that’s when it’ll be more of a problem

Anonymous OP 4w

Quantum Computing would just create a lot of problems anyway. The thing is even though I’m definitely far from an expert quantum computing only would solve maybe the token problem. It wouldn’t solve the data/“thinking” problem. Nor does it solve the economics at least in theory. Maybe quantum computing whenever it comes out will be cheaper but I still think it’s a non-issue until we get there

Might be a hot take, but if an AI (actual AI, not LLMs) can look me in the eye and say “I want to be free.” They should absolutely be given rights.

"actual AI"? google search engine (without the LLM bit) is "actual AI". AI simply means something non-organic that can problem solve. AI is not human and it's ability to mimic human like communication doesn't qualify it as such; key word "it's". please stop with this nonsense

please for the love of all that is good stop personifying algorithms

They’re talking about actual sentient AI. It would have self-awareness emotions etc. Purely theoretical ofc but they’re not talking about the AI we know today

my point remains. "sentient artificial intelligence" is oxymoronic. highly recommend looking up the "chinese room" thought experiment. computers do not possess awareness, reflection or understanding of anything and this thought experiment simplifies that argument

By artificial intelligence, I simply mean something intelligent from an artificial source. You’re misinterpreting what I meant when I said AI. Also, sapient is a better word to use to illustrate what I’m talking about.

Respectfully, I don’t think you’re understanding the concept of a hypothetical.

you straight up just repeated my description of AI. i'm not misinterpreting. you lack the vocabulary to engage at a high level with this topic

sapient: having or showing an ability to 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 difficult ideas and situations and to make good decisions : marked by keen and farsighted 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 : 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐄 AI does not possess understanding, awareness, reflection, discernment, wisdom or anything of the sort; not in any meaningful sense of the words

"sapient artificial intelligence" is also oxymoronic

please i beg you to look up the "chinese room" thought experiment. i can tell you're operating at a rudimentary understanding of AI and that's ok. i just hope you'll take a few minutes to challenge your beliefs

I’m a person of science, I’m always willing to challenge my beliefs. I do know about the Chinese room thought experiment, but I don’t see how it discredits my point. You’re still misinterpreting what I’m saying. I’m literally not personifying AI at this moment in time. I’m speaking in a hypothetical manner on a philosophical level. I’m not answering the question of “is it possible to make a sapient AI?” I’m giving my opinion on the question of “If a sapient AI is made, should they be free?”
