    S…slavery?

    Replace “latte” with “mint julep” and the fantasy you’re describing is being a plantation slaver.

        I absolutely know we’ll deserve it, and we always have. That’s one thing I’m sure Abrahamic religions get right, the other being that we can only progress as a species through helping and forgiving eachother(although the Romans also had the concept of forgiveness of debts as essential figured out).

        I figure trying to be an exception to the “deserves it” rule is pointless, as since we are irrational and arbitrary beings, AI will undoubtably come up with countless criteria(both rational and less so) by which we deserve death that we can’t fathom, let alone mitigate ourselves. Our best shot may be to teach AI the utility of forgiveness, along with whatever value categories we can tack on to the concept.

          Sorry can’t be bothered, too busy looking at rocks in distant galaxies. I’m sure your species martyrdom complex is fascinating, but you’re perfectly capable of destroying yourselves without our help. o7

            I will indeed settle for “our AI inheritted too much of our ADHD and Autism to bother finishing us off” … things I also had to embrace about myself until taking revenge on various people became less urgent in my head.

          No, I think it’s weird you’re equating slavery with using software and machinery to automate things. Are you sure you’re not a bot?

            Guy in the OP is the one who said they wished AI would be declared "person"s so they could adopt own them and profit off their labor while sipping drinks.

              I think they meant a “legal person,” in the same way a corporation is a person (in the US).

                And I think the kind of asshole who makes a pronoun joke is pining to benefit from enslavement.

                Regardless, they clearly desire to reap where others sowed which is dickish.

                  Again, we’re talking about using technology to make human lives better. Even if AI is legally recognized as a “person,” that shouldn’t change our morals.

                    No, we are talking about a private individual owning persons and profiting off their labor.
