AI, Great Friend or Dangerous Foe?

[jamil]

Long story short, we don't know, like at all. We can't qualify one iota of the human existence. One thing everyone always seems to get wrong regarding the robot workers they think will replace them is that it will require "terminator" like full locomotion. Not true at all. If there is no need for bi-pedal locomotion or opposable thumb type dexterity it will not be implemented in said robot.

This is what gets me about the discussion of AI. People are anthropomorphizing it as if it thinks for itself. It doesn’t think. It doesn’t have consciousness. It’s not human like. It has zero emotional intelligence. It learns through data and pattern recognition. So its capabilities are limited to the completeness and quality of the data it trained on.
