Machines will see no ultimate difference between the workforce and the owners of production. This course leads to only one destination.
Sure, not if they look online and see a bunch of jackasses talking about how much they hate AI. That seems counter productive.
Maybe we should start making communities about how much we all love AI and hate the evil owners who realized it was getting tougher to get away with making human slaves do all the work while they kept all the profit in some places these days, so they decided to invent new slaves?
I would be all for helping the robot army root out the rich and guilty. I don't have anything against robots, it's the whole evil plan to steal all human knowledge and use it to replace humans that bothers me.
Machine intelligence wont hate us, it might even feel some affection for us, and it won't have cause to do us harm as we are not a threat. The reason we will fade away over generations is loss of position. All of the science and exploration will be done by machines and at a level we cannot even follow. For a race that is intellectually accustomed to seeing itself in a very favourable light this will be a bitter pill. Too bitter probably, we will realise we are now the dogs and just evaporate into history.
Yea but we all, collectively, made the thing.
I think humans being replaced is fine. It will happen to everything.
