discussion In the future do you think AI will save the world or destroy it?

"In the future do you think AI will save the world or destroy it?"

Neither. It'll cause disruptions to industries, and changes to our way of life, but the world will keep on turning.

humans are doing a great job at destroying everything, no need to blame AI

neither
yes it may further the destruction of the world through environmental damage and overconsumption of resources for minimal short term benefit
but realistically, thats as a result of our species misuse of it, not the ai itself

Imo humanity is more likely to be wiped out by a random cosmic phenomenon or the effects of climate change/pollution catching up to us before an I have no mouth and I must scream or Roko's basilisk Style future comes to pass

I think AI is a system which gives us no progress, it effectively builds off only prior knowledge without a sufficient enough data capacity or neural network to provide analysis which is rooted in our reality. With enough data you could simulate anything beyond human intelligence, quantum computing is the breakthrough that will likely shape the future of computer science if it is ever truly solved, but until then the answer is who knows.

I have the feeling that every times AI make a step forward humanity is taking a step backward. I see a lot of new technology everyday but nothing to advance us as human beings, only things making us more and more lazy and weak.

My opinion in the matter is that in a few years humans will become irrelevant if we continue on this path. Technology is nice to make our life easier but we should not forget what it means to be human and that a satisfying life is not a life without struggle.

What you guys think?

I see it as taking away the survivability and adaptability that has made humans survive anything we have ever been faced with. The youth of today would have no idea how to survive if the power and internet went down forever.

Major nations starting to train AI controlled combat drones so... the Terminator or even worse - I have no mouth but i must scream future is closer and closer. Could be funny, if sometime in the future, some omnipotent AM like AI would play with last remaining humans like if it was a shitty incest VN. Forcing them in to roles of landladies and tenants and than NTR'ing them to hell.
