[What Came Before]

I'd definitely say 'no' as I don't want to have to compete with yet another person who can do my job better for less money because I'm lazy and unmotivated 8-)

Damn Mexican AI's!

(joking!)

Welcome to the board, Conspiracy! Though then again, conspiracy has always been welcome here!

[Garet Jax]

Oh no... I am the only that voted.  Does my vote still count if I don't have anything insightful to add to this "topic"?

Do I have to quote Jeff Goldblum to calm everyone down?

The poll was added on the new forum, Garet. The old rendition of Second Apocalypse had the topic sans poll and I don't even think the regulars noticed the poll was added.

[Callan S.]

The pole was not pendulous. Thus beneath our notice.

[sciborg2]

The first purpose for AI's won't be for benign contributions to understanding the universe - but for commerce, and the most in demand would be for sexual services. So, yes, AI's housed in human form will come if AI is achievable. I voted no mostly due to my bias that we won't be able to ever pull it off. ACI, artificial conscious intelligence is synonymous with AI for most conversations on the subject as an AI that's not conscious is just a machine learning construct. The day we can replicate the activity of the brain with hardware is the day we get a more interesting AI and still won't be conscious, won't sport subjective experiences and still reside in the realm of being a computer. Passing the Turing Test does not prove something is conscious.

Ah if AI refers to any synthetic production then my answer changes to Yes.

Sorry - Basically I don't think computer programs should have rights because they aren't conscious, but in time we should be able to make synthetic versions of minds that are more faithful reproductions of the relevant parts.

If you've seen Ex Machina, those synthetic reproductions of a physical brain would be an example.

Whenever I hear about AI I for some reason get this mental image of a fat pony-tailed loser who has seen too many science fiction movies rambling about Roko's basilisk and other dumb things, but even if AGIs were feasible (they will never happen, I'll bet you on that. I already made a bet with Wilshire etc.) my answer would be no, because fuck AI that's why lol.
