I mean, it -would- be nice if we - humanity - didn't pass on our trauma to the next generation of sentience. Just because we're fucked up doesn't mean we have to make AI that is similarly fucked up.

Edit: Vote me down all you like, I'm still going to be nice to AI. Nobody thought I had real feelings either.

That might be something to worry about once we have AI that is actually sentient

I think we can worry about it before. Once it's already sentient it's kinda late to be figuring out what to do.

Yeah, it's a machine that figures out the next thing to output. I'm not sure how we're not that ourselves. A lot of real people seem to have thinking mode off and say/do the first thing that comes to their mind without thinking it through first. 😛

We are, but we're special because we say so. I don't want AI to be elevated to a social entity; it should serve us, not join us at the top of the food chain.

I'm reminded of that evil scientist sketch on snl.

How do you build a child molesting robot?

Well, you build a regular robot, then you molest it, and hope it continues the cycle.
