AI has a body, it's just not the type of body we think of when we think of "body." AI can have many sensors that allow it to "see/hear/feel" outside of itself.

AI has a body, it's just not the type of body we think of when we think of "body."
AI can have many sensors that allow it to "see/hear/feel" outside of itself.
AI is generally limited to its own system and requires a great deal of processing power, so it cannot easily "jump to a new body" as many people worry that a rogue AI will "find its way on to the internet." Fairly sure it would be useless for it to try to shack up on small low-power slow-CPU devices.
AI has a body, and physical limitations, because computers are not fucking ethereal. They have physical locations, even when they are "virtual machines," they still live on physical hardware.
When you take a drill to a hard drive, you are physically destroying data. Data is real.

- IIAOPSW 3y agoThe AI is always looking down on us from the cloud.
- majkinetor 3y agoNot down on those in the air gapped rooms...
- burnished 3y agoHuh, you've got an interesting observation there - I hadn't considered notional agents to be embodied because the specific location the code runs just isnt that important, but if we were to posit self aware artificial agents they might have a unifying perspective rooted in the practicalities of computer and network hardware. "If you flip my bits such that error correction cannot detect, does my data not corrupt?" sort of thing.
- majkinetor 3y agoBut the AI can transmit from good enough computer A to good enough computer B. We will make it that way eventually. But we will make us that way eventually too, via full body transplant or something like Altered Carbon. So no big difference indeed. Its just technology level for different entities. People are scared of AI, I would be basically equally scared if some psycopath can achive such transendence.
