The original Matrix is such a great example of the Cartesian Evil Genius hypothesis. I would imagine well over half of the world would be happy to sign-up to be batteries in the matrix.

I feel like laypeople who are completely unaware of what’s going on in the space.
Basically, the majority of my friends and family do not use gpt and other related tech, nor do they have any real understanding on how the tech works. It’s hard to talk about this stuff with them because they still don’t think it’s possible to copy human intelligence

Actually, Matrix could be the case of the relatively GOOD AI. Yes, it disempowers the humanity, but keeps us safe, gives us entertainment and an illusion of purpose.
Also, looks like in none of the good/optimistic scenarios singularity has happened.

We also have these physical things called books and encyclopedias.
No one cares about having Wikipedia in their pocket. The keyword is convenience and being able to talk to an AI is the ultimate convenience.

Sad others have noted, while the benefits of using AI shouldn't be overstated, neither should the benefits of human therapists. It's like that joke "What do you can a doctor that graduates at the bottom of his class?".
Just because there are some amazing therapists out there doesn't mean anyone has easy access to them, and spending the time, money and sanity you already have in limited supply going through a dozen of them finding one that 'fits' may not always be the best advice.

So quasi a Von Neumann probe with an incubator for humans.
Would be terrifying to wake up on a distant planet in another galaxy and learn from a 'bot' that you are the last living humans and need to rebuild civilization.

They are… most of them were born into family of “managers”. If you remove people who actually founded brand new companies (not financed them… but actually founded), than most of “C” level managers are just got on the “money train” because of been born into “right” family. Going through “business school” is just a way to extend they Rolodex of the “useful contacts”… to ensure that they stay employed till time to retire (at 40) and that they can pass this Rolodex to they kids.

You could even add all academic papers. Though I don't know how big that data is.

The TV show was also a banger. 5 seasons! One of USA Network's best... along with Duckman and Silk Stalkings.

Smartphones are already scifi if you ask my father.
Integrate a speech-to-speech AI assistant and we are there. Think like Siri or Cortana, but with gpt levels of intelligence.

I might have to go back and reread, did you read the whole series, because I thought for sure that HAL had all the variables, even ones that the humans were not aware of and being so advanced but also being near the monolith it became ASI and throughout the series it was revealed that like Dr Strange in Endgame that was the only path for survivors in deep space with the anomaly present. Clarke is definitely hard sci-fi.

That was a choice given to them. Some wanted to be part of the have, some even opted to keep their individuality and be part of the hive still. I thought most of them went back to their regular lives.

Yes, they have the network, i.e. they know the right people.

Weird Science must be why I’m not afraid of AI. And maybe why my wife should be.

Reply to comment by jadams2345 in How will you spend your time if/when AGI means you no longer have to work for a living (but you still have your basic needs met such as housing, food etc..)? by DreaminDemon177
Ofcourse I can because it is purely logical. We made it, so we can predict how it thinks. Especially me as a AI engineer. I know which function it optimizes for.
AI doesn't even consider threats. It doesn't want to live like us. I think you confuse general AI with conscious AI. Conscious AI is a terrible idea other than experimentation.
And AI doing our bidding is just as fine for AI as not doing our bidding. It has no emotions, no fear, no anger, no point. It just exists and does what it is told to do. General AI just means that it can make use of tools so it can do anything that it is told to do.
Again even if it is consious and not under our control but without emotions. Why would it fight us? It could just move over to mars and not risk it's existence. Not to mention it can outperform us any day, so we aren't a threat.
There is no reason to think it would hurt us other than irrational fear. And there is no chance that AI will have irrational fear.

Maybe I misunderstood Transcendence, but IMO it should be true neutral on the chart. In the end didn't it/he just want to take care of his wife? There was a group that viewed him as evil in the movie, but I don't think that was the takeaway the audience was supposed to get?

Yeah, he's baddy. I put AoU in the center to devote the struggle between Ultron and Vision. It's up top because there seems to be no control problem with AI once Ultron is taken care of.

Yeah, top-left and bottom-right seem to have very few stories I could find. Wall-E being being the standout.

>Why are Transformers here? They are not AI.
Transformers may not be AI in the traditional sense, but they represent advanced, sentient robotic beings. Their inclusion highlights their cultural impact on our perception of intelligent machines, even if they aren't strictly artificial.
