Artificial Intelligence

With the rise of AI, is humanity doomed? Or are we flourishing like never before?




Robotic world is taking over almost everything that we can think of. The question is? What are the pros and cons?

My personal opinion is that, it is good, for as long as we don't get superficially controlled by them and completely take over our human ability to think and act independently.

What about you? Any opinions?

Good morning blog world.

It's a beautiful day and life is peachy.

Hope everyone is happy.

Emotional breakdowns that affect production will be completely eliminated.
Less sick days but I’d bet the cost for parts or repairs to a robot would be pretty costly.

What we need are robots for washing dishes and other torturous tasks
Nice to see you Free.

I'm sure it'll get perfected and cheaper eventually.

My concern is, boy are we as humans will be pushed out of the spectrum? Yikes
John...it's good right?

No more human sorrow and or pain from loss of lives.
yep, the aspect is good but what if an army of them came through a town no way to stop them.
Sadly I think it is bad for humans; small businesses will not have the capital to invest in the technology, so the big multinationals will thrive, there will then be less real competition. Employees will be few and mainly high-end IT skilled people. Because so many will live as unemployed, it will become a lifestyle for those families, crime will increase partly through boredom and the rich / poor divide will become more extreme.
Autonomous cars are just the beginning....
Will there is talk of universal income for all. No need to work in the future? We already have plenty who can teach us how to adapt to the new life style. wink
Has anyone else seen the film: Ex Machina?
That'd be a nightmare John.
well ai can eliminate the entire human if not properly managed
Am thanks for joining in. It is not going to be good if we can't have a complete control of these creations. I can see how much more difficult for the main stream population if the low income will be middled out of these opportunities that were available for them before their creation.

Sad really.

Miwagi, that's more like in the upside then?
Haven't seen it but any gist?
Wiping out humanity is not good

Miwagi, this is a nightmare.
Beeches, it is very likely that we are all aware in some form or another but haven't thought of the dark consequences that deep yet because it is not here to affect us as bad as we possibly can imagine.

The truth is, if we will become controlled by them and we will be helpless to stop or put an end to their enslaving humans, then that would be the day that man might as well be extinct.

I will be dead by then but I reckon, four more generations and these robotics creations will rule the world if not the universe.
Hello LJ, It is not good to see machines take over the work place and put humans on the unemployment list...protests, campaigns, strikes, getting the facts out and pushing your governments to do something about it, because the human race is at risk...

It make's me wonder if films like the terminator are coming true and humans are indeed being replaced by machinesdoh

Big, big, big...mistake to rely on machines and expect a positive outcomeblues
Hi LJ wave just seems to be a win loose situation. a win for companies but a loose for the work force. doh
Miwagi ~ I respect your opinions. Scary stuff .uh oh
Lee its scary because ultimately human's usefulness is going to be displaced.
Altho computer-generated artificial intelligence eludes us, artificial stupidity has been perfected.

beautiful. Continuation from the last comment.
Snook, absolutely. Those are the upside of these creations. The downside is that it will completely eliminate the usefulness of human touch.

Today here in the US, part of these automation is taking over big businesses that employ human.

There used to be a big video renting company called the Blockbuster. I loved that store and I must have spent over 10 grand using their services. I was saving a lot of money from just renting them than purchasing movies that I wanted to watch. Not to mention the good price you can pay for when they will be sold. High quality made movies.

That was displaced, now there are red Box all over the place which I couldn't care less.

Another thing, on the groceries these automatic tellers have absolutely robbed human services. I don't like them at all. I still prefer to go to an actual human teller or cashier.
Babies Snook? Like the Matrix, oh Lordy..Comes the absolute uselessness of human being. There goes or prime responsibility in populating the earth.
Lindsy ~ Yes, it will be huge changes . It may seem off topic but china used to take our waste, the plastics and packaging, that they themselves make ~they are not taking anymore waste from Ireland.

I am scared of a world that does not , can not thinnk independently, a robotic world in more ways than one. It is late here so maybe I am making no sense.sleep yawn
I am thinking a lot about it though.bouquet
Artificial intelligence doesn't leave much room for the ambition or utility of mankind and to survive we're looking at people becoming more of a player instead of a go-getter or provider. To some extent honest work has already been replaced by technology and AI will have it disappear completely. The jobs people do now are not crucial like they used to be and in this country 40% of people find no meaning in their work.

Through AI mankind will have to be content with being like a lady of leisure or face oblivion. Being like a lady of leisure isn't as easy as it sounds, particularly for men and there'll be a strong reaction against comfort and ease from people who really need their cross to bear. We may even need a war against the people with a cross to bear before mankind accepts its new lighter, sillier role in existence. The second world war, if the survivors hadn't been so happy to survive the war they'd never have created a generation of oversized children like the baby boomers who could adapt to this kept existence as a pseudo lady of leisure. The men and women before baby boomers came with more purpose and although it made them worthy of more respect at the same time it's dangerous to be worthy of a challenge that never comes... We need another generation like the baby boomers to make society more juvenile, to not think like a proper grown up is how we survive a life kept by industry, it's how we adapt to consumer society.
