"I Can Feel It..." Killing Artificial Intelligence - Would it be wrong?

Well, robots cant have emotions. They do not have a conscience. Id probably feel remorse though. I could probably prefer robots over humans anyways. I want my own Arnold. >_>

 

It may be possible for humans to one day create a synthetic intelligence that is truly conscious and self aware; I am sure that this is an eventuality. However, we are not capable of this today. Hell, we won't be able to manufacture sentience for hundreds of years at the least.

No doubt in the coming years and decades machines will be able to imitate emotion and thought but in the end that's all it is: imitation. A machine running its program is not conscious. The day a computer can go against it's programming through anything other than a malfunction (in the same way humans can go against their better instincts and judgment) then maybe that would count as a true a.i.

 

We have already developed computers and robots which can learn and AI has been developed for years, and we actually have a fair amount of what we need for fully conscious computers done.

I reckon it would be kinda wrong to kill AI.. I feel bad enough already when I kill sims in The Sims 3.

 

wouldn't bother me in the least, i don't think attempting to create artificial life is a good idea anyway, producing anything with the capacity to outdo it's creators is asking for trouble but maybe i.ve watched too many films. Then again i'd feel the same (threatened, i mean, not happy to destroy them) about developing genetically superior humans, with improved physical and mental capabilities, in the end they'd look on the mark 1 human as inferior and a waste of space... But that's another thread.

Discussion reminds me of this new movie coming up. Side Note the movie looks really interesting
And bruce with hair looks awkward or is it just me

 

I wouldn't mind smashing them to death, hey, it's a good outlet for anger.

Actually sounds like a lot of fun.

 

Really, we're just machines too. In my mind, the only way you could create AI would be to replicate the human brain. In that case it would be real intelligence, but fake brain.

 

This reminds me of the video game Mass Effect in which an alien race created robots with AI that became sentient. It didn't turn out too well for them cause the robots sent them into exile and now they're wandering around the galaxy in their fleet of spaceships.

 

I think the situation matters.
if the AI is trying to kill me i'd probably not feel that bad.
But i wouldn't just kill one for shits and giggles.
*shrug*

 

No, unless they became a criminal like a serial killer/rapist or tried to rule the world. I feel bad about killing my sims in The Sims 3. LOL

 

I'm pretty much a mixture of option 2 and 3. I certainly wouldn't feel much remorse over destroying an A.I. that was out to get me (too many movies I know), but I would never kill such a thing unprovoked. While these machines may only display counterfeit emotions and personalities, that shouldn't give me a reason to go around murdering the personality embedded into the creation. I'm quite surprised at the amount of people here willing to smash an A.I., actually. In my eyes, any kind of sentient or thinking life form deserves a shot at life, and consequentially, equal rights.

 

I'm very paranoid when it comes to robot technology and creating artificial intelligence and i'm very opposed to it for this simple reason. Why, what's the point? I see it as a science's way of measuring (for lack of a better word) their dicks. And plus as humans we tend to create things that could be used for good, and turn them into weapons of war. I wouldn't be surprised if they started dropping down robots to annihilate villages

 

The point of making robots would be to make human life easier. I mean, look around you, all your jobs are being taking over by robots.

 

Not necessarily. Working at retail, humans did 90% of the work and there're still many poor folks that work in construction.

 

Good point, and I'd have to say the fact that it was an A.I. would be the reason I would kill it without much hesitation. I know it would be terrible and maybe a tad bit contradictory on my part, but in my mind I would rationalize the murder due to the fact that the A.I. has no real "family" and wouldn't be missed by anyone.

Had it been a human pursuer with bad intent, and if I were actually able to kill them (doubt it), I would feel bad because that person had a history. They most likely had a family, friends, or some kind of twisted childhood if they were actually plotting to murder me.

I feel like I can't properly express my point in words, so I just have to hope you get what I'm trying to say. I would be more than willing to exist alongside A.I., but were they to turn hostile, I would kill them with much more ease than I would a human. :/
