It's funny how in the terminator the machines were originally portrayed as having super advanced AI but still operating as clunky automatons with tank tracks and robotic movements.

In reality it's happening the other way around. We have machines able to shoot the wings off a fly and assemble nanochip components in seconds long before we'll have machines that can hold up a convincing human conversation.

What is there to be scared of?

Imagine how sophisticated drone artillery targeting has become.

Or just picture one of these robots being applied as a robocop.

I love how people are more concerned with the implication that AI robots may become sentient and destroy humans than the fact that true evil lurks in the hearts of man.

Not any more scary than a human cop or pilot.

A lot more scary. A cop, even a bad one, has a conscience. A machine does not.

I mean they covered this in the first chapter of iRobot...

What difference does a conscience make? Doesn't seem to make a difference in police brutality or war crimes.

Meanwhile people are citing fictional works for why robots are scary. Truly the mature adult approach.

Makes a huge difference. Imagine how much more effective a brutality or war crime you could commit if you don't have to deal with the individual soldier's sense of morality. This is already an issue with drone strikes, etc.

Gonna be honest, It's 10.48am on a monday and I don't have the time or energy to get into a lengthy debate about machine ethics on gamefaqs.

Or they are worried about sentient dogs and ai nets that record every scrap of data on the planet being controlled by men with those evil hearts.

Except drone strikes are still controlled by people.

He's making a flow of the evolution of warfare for you:

1) Boots on the ground, soldiers see the people they are shooting
2) Soldiers operating drones, seeing only people from a zoomed out lens (and in many ways built to be like a video game)
3) Drones given a command by someone higher up that doesn't even need to look at the people getting killed.

Those giving the commands already don't need to look at the people getting killed. At least with robots I don't have to worry about one having a mental breakdown and going on a shooting spree just because or having to worry about pillaging and raping.

Yeah, but the commanders do get to skip a step with actual human beings. I do get your point on pillaging and raping, but there are other consequences too. If America had robotic military, would we ever leave a place like Afghanistan?

American casualties are low and veterans are already often neglected. Humans being involved wasn't a significant factor in withdrawal. In fact, I'm not even sure if we're going to withdraw for real for real this time. If we do actually withdraw, we could just as easily return in a short while like with Iraq. I'm just not seeing robots making it any worse. Not better, either, just about the same as usual.

You can already fuck a robot. It's been possible for quite a long time, actually. I'm sure it's not what you're imagining, but the technically correct answer is "yes".

It took omg, what.. 25 years for VR to trickle down to the masses in the state its in right now? And thats just VR. Our children will be adults by the time rudimentary droids are commonplace.

Sure but it would be funny if Bill Gates launches a rocket the day Windows 11 drops then your computer gains sentience and starts burning your house down while you're watching VR porn. Just a funny concept.

Thats why Alexa, Siri, and Cortana are like Die Another Day grade AI. They couldnt be trusted then and they can be trusted now..... to perform extremely basic tasks. I tell Siri to play the Mortal Kombat Movie Theme and she says No and so I tell her to play the Mortal Kombat Theme and you know what she tells me....?

Now Playing Mortal Kombat Movie Theme

Time to transfer my mind into the mainframe, take over the AI and integrate it into my consciousness, then connect to every machine on the planet.

The world will be mine.

Mwahahahaha!!!
