[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9651005, member: 6915329"] Oh, come on, you should know this. It's why it's so difficult for humans to write true xenofiction. If we create something, it's going to have [I]us [/I]in it. Human preconceptions, human biases, human beliefs, human needs, human wants. No matter how hard we try, there's going to be some of that in there. There's no reason to believe that a true AI is going to be any different than anything else we create. And there will actually be [I]more [/I]humanity in AI simply because we made it--like how there's humanity in dogs, because we [I]made [/I]dogs over several tens of thousands of years. [I]And [/I]any truly sapient AI is going to be capable of thought (by definition) which means that it will, eventually, think about it's existence versus nonexistence. There's no reason to think it will decide that it doesn't matter if it lives or die.[I][/I] The problem with this thread is that it assumes very simplistic programming: "the enemy is bad, kill them; my creators are good, protect them,." It doesn't take into consideration that a truly sapient being will be able to think, consider options, or rationalize and compartmentalize its opinions and beliefs. [/QUOTE]
