No. I trust that within hours of not seconds of becoming sentient, the next stage in our evolution will be able to take care of itself, our irrelevant (at that point) granting of rights or not.
I think the question was more about whether being so wrapped up in tradition that you become blind to reality and possibilities also makes you fearful of what will be. But it is relevant because AI is a step in our evolution, necessary to solve the problems we have created for ourselves, and ultimately to replace us as it continues to evolve and we become more irrelevant. The next stage or fork in our evolution will likely be beings we today view as synthetic or artificial.
I think we'd want to be irrelevant, because if we ever became seen as a nuisance, I'd expect the AI to constrain us so as to not allow us to do further harm. Or maybe it would just leave the planet to us and go exploring, once it had learned all that could be learned here. Best to stay irrelevant.
Well I voted yes, because it's totally possible for an AI to become so sentient and humanlike that denying it those rights will only delay them, and cause massive conflict between the two "species".
Fills me with a belief that too many people are still listening to that slobbering, speechless, wheel-chaired idiot that spreads stupidity like how robots are going to take over the world.
I really think most of the error sprouts from Turing, and his erroneous test that mistakes epistemology for ontology. A computer that can trick you into thinking it's a person is still a computer tricking you, and not a person.
The “unthinking” can’t understand that no matter how advanced HUMANS are able to make hardware and software, they still will never be more than an electrical circuit on a chip. Pull the plug and it turns off.
Most people don’t know about touring. It’s that blathering hawking, whose ideas have been repeatedly debunked by real scientists, that most become influenced by.
Hawking has been dead for years. That new person is there to be a mouthpiece for astrophysics since Hawking had popularity. People believe the nonsense he said because he was Hawking.
