Do you have any proof that Strong AI would be safe for humans?

- Jach 14y agoThe default outcome for AGI is likely bad (http://singularity.org/files/ComplexValues.pdf http://singularity.org/files/ComplexValues.pdf and http://singularity.org/files/SaME.pdf http://singularity.org/files/SaME.pdf), but not in the ridiculous way that movies portray it, and no one should be using the movies as a substitute for thought (http://lesswrong.com/lw/k9/the_logical_fallacy_of_generalization_from/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/k9/the_logical_fallacy_of_generaliza...). There are so many types of AI minds, and so many ways for it to go wrong (http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer) that picking out a very particular fictional one to stress over, make movies about, and attempt to constrain (even framing it as a constraint problem of some more "primitive" desire to destroy humanity) as the only default mind, is pretty silly.
- psteyn 14y agoThere's an idea that a Strong AI won't be hostile to humans, due to not being mortal as we are. It has no need to be emotional, jealous or hateful. The idea as that these feelings are due to our own mortality and fragility. Why would an advanced, technically immortal, machine want to hurt us at all? You are humanizing it by thinking so.
