AI can't suffer
- rbanffy 3y agoProve you can.
- snapcaster 3y agoJust had a brief vision of the not so distant future of you being held to account for this comment by superintelligent AIs
- Astraco 3y agoI support Roko's Basilisk... And so should you
- me_me_me 3y agoSuffering in humans is not limited strictly yo physical real. If AI is self conscious, claiming its a person and is suffering. What can you do to prove or disprove it? Nothing. This is a brick wall of "The hard problem of consciousness" and we dont have any good ideas to solve it yet. Not that long ago people claimed animals dont really suffer. As they are a biological machines that pretend to be hurt.
- Astraco 3y agoNo, we are attributing feelings to an overglorified spreadsheet. I understand it, we have empathy, but AI is just responding to an input the way it have been trained, like other piece of software.
- js8 3y agoWell, in reinforcement learning, wrong outputs are inherently painful for the AI. If the system expects getting negative feedback regardless what it does, I would say it is suffering. I would also define torture as giving it negative feedback for any possible output.
