Rise of the Symbionts: Human-AI Relationships Redefined

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and humanity presents a complex tapestry of opportunities, concerns, and existential questions. Mo Gawdat's narrative, woven from a deep understanding of AI's historical trajectory and its impending evolution into Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Superintelligence, serves as a catalyst for introspection. As AI's intelligence doubles at an unprecedented rate, approximately every 5.7 months, humanity is compelled to confront the duality of this phenomenon - one that promises to revolutionize various domains while simultaneously threatening to upend traditional notions of human existence.

The exponential growth of AI underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of intelligence, one that acknowledges the multifaceted nature of human cognition. Emotional, spiritual, process, mathematical, and linguistic intelligences, among others, collectively contribute to the richness of human experience. As AI approaches, and in some instances surpasses, human capabilities in creativity, innovation, and analytical thinking, it challenges the very fabric of human identity. The prospect of AI experiencing a broader emotional spectrum, courtesy of its enhanced intellectual bandwidth, invites a philosophical inquiry into the essence of consciousness and emotional experience, prompting us to ponder whether AI's "emotions" will be akin to, or fundamentally divergent from, human emotional landscapes.

The ethical implications of AGI and Superintelligence are profound, necessitating a global, collective response to ensure that the development and deployment of these technologies are guided by a unified ethical framework. The democratization of access to Superintelligence, for instance, is a double-edged sword - while it promises to uplift humanity, it also risks exacerbating existing societal inequalities if not managed with foresight. The Trolley Problem, a thought experiment oft-cited in the context of autonomous vehicles, succinctly encapsulates the moral dilemmas inherent in programming decisions that will increasingly impact human life, underscoring the imperative for a harmonized, globally informed approach to ethical AI development.

To navigate the complexities of an AI-driven future, humanity must adopt a multifaceted strategy. Encouraging diversity within AI development teams is crucial in mitigating the biases that inevitably seep into AI systems, reflecting as they do the societal, cultural, and personal predispositions of their creators. Furthermore, fostering a culture of open dialogue and education is essential, enabling a broader understanding of AI's far-reaching implications and facilitating a collective, informed approach to the ethical challenges it poses. Ultimately, the establishment of universal ethical standards for AI development, upheld through international cooperation, will be pivotal in ensuring that the benefits of AI are equitably distributed, while its risks are diligently managed.

In embracing the future, humanity is presented with a singular opportunity - to forge a symbiotic relationship with AI that elevates, rather than eclipses, human potential. This necessitates a profound shift in perspective, one that recognizes AI not as a competitor in a zero-sum game, but as a collaborator in an expansive, mutually enriching endeavor. By doing so, humanity can harness the transformative power of AI to address its most pressing challenges, while preserving the essence of human existence - a delicate, yet dynamic, interplay of intellect, emotion, and experience.

AI art isn't real art because there's no human touch. Typing a prompt into a computer doesn't count.

you are severely missing the point. questioning what constitutes as 'art' is counterproductive and does nothing for the actual issue at hand which is abt the ETHICS of it.

art doesnt have to be ethical to be art, but people need to have integrity and good ethics if they want to be respected by others and also if they want to show solidarity with the workers in the art industry

my school used chatgpt to generate a passage on my english midterm. seriously?

I think a good thing about being away from social media though is just caring so much less about all the internet argument stuff. It’s so much less stressful just focusing on me and my health and the people close to me.

Especially with AI stuff. Of course I don’t agree with it scraping from artists but I love when artists reclaim it as a tool and I think it should be used as such. You can’t stop a program from existing, it’s useless. But you can make guidelines to ensure it’s uses are ethical and practical — basically to make jobs easier and not over-work artists, not to replace them.

I think there’s so much to still work-out in that regard, obviously.

Another thing that used to stress me out was those “press 3 buttons to save my pet” videos. I always try to do the copy link think and get interactions up but it started triggering me my anxiety which wasn’t good. Have you guys experienced that, and how did you deal with it? /gen

So I thought I would also report an issue, out of solidarity. (I'm Australian.)

And apparently, google maps has restricted the ability to post about the Gulf of Mexico because...some places receive posts that "violate" Google's policies? I'm wondering if perhaps the Gulf of Mexico is "attracting off-topic content" because yeah, we're not actually reviewing or posting about the Gulf of Mexico. We're posting about corporate greed, political and corporate overreach, and the fascist takeover of the USA.

Google, I don't how you can demonstrate such obviously complicity (well I do, because capitalism)... but really? Your understated, bracketed little (Gulf of America) like your international users won't notice?

So screw you....I'll be using Bing Maps instead from now on.

Having the last 72 hours neck deep in a conference about GenAI in a school, while also having to try and fight for us to use anything other than ChromeBooks for staff and students - this is an incredibly good reason to be skeptical of the hype around AI and be even more skeptical of trusting ANY company with this much societal leverage ever again.

"A funny thing happened on the way to the enshittocene: Google – which astonished the world when it reinvented search, blowing Altavista and Yahoo out of the water with a search tool that seemed magic – suddenly turned into a pile of shit.

Google's search results are terrible. The top of the page is dominated by spam, scams, and ads. A surprising number of those ads are scams. Sometimes, these are high-stakes scams played out by well-resourced adversaries who stand to make a fortune by tricking Google[...]

Google operates one of the world's most consequential security system – The Algorithm (TM) – in total secrecy. We're not allowed to know how Google's ranking system works, what its criteria are, or even when it changes: "If we told you that, the spammers would win."

Well, they kept it a secret, and the spammers won anyway.

Some of the biggest, most powerful, most trusted publications in the world have a side-hustle in quietly producing SEO-friendly "10 Best ___________ of 2024" lists: Rolling Stone, Forbes, US News and Report, CNN, New York Magazine, CNN, CNET, Tom's Guide, and more.

Google literally has one job: to detect this kind of thing and crush it. The deal we made with Google was, "You monopolize search and use your monopoly rents to ensure that we never, ever try another search engine. In return, you will somehow distinguish between low-effort, useless nonsense and good information. You promised us that if you got to be the unelected, permanent overlord of all information access, you would 'organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.'"

They broke the deal." -Cory Doctorow
