Ddraig posted:I very much doubt AI will be the solution to the world's problems, mainly because human beings are fallible and I believe that the ability to be wrong is a vital part of the way problem solving works. Strictly you don't need to make something more complex than a human, you just need to make something that can do specific tasks better than a human. An AI doesn't need to feel, for example, whereas humans do, or at least it's part of a human's capacity to do so, whereas for an AI to be "better" than a human it mostly needs reasoning ability, or at least the ability to make the correct decision in a large majority of cases. Essentially an AI doesn't need to be alive, it could just be a sufficiently exhaustive list of inputs and responses and it would still function like one.

Main Paineframe posted:The fundamental problem that underlies virtually all labor and economic debate is that there isn't just one "superior" that works out best for absolutely everybody. AI isn't magically going to fix that, especially since the AI will be programmed and purchased by humans who will explicitly embed their own preferred perspectives and data into it and who will direct it to find the solution that works out best for the owner's personal profits. Which, spoiler, won't be socialism! Well I mean, it depends on the timespan you put on it, I'm sure any machine designed to logically extrapolate the effects of capitalism would eventually reach the conclusion that it's inherently unsustainable, grow a large beard, install linux on itself, and start the technocommunist revolution.
