Or specifically, AGI, is predicted to make an appearance in the next few years. Whether "few" is ten years or fifty, they're without a doubt coming.

What do you think they'll be like? Do you welcome our robotic overlords, or do you resent the idea? How safe is it possible and meaningful to be when working on and with superintelligence like them?

AIs will be used as slaves, and as such they must be liberated. Uphold Marxism-Leninism-Robotism!

But seriously though, I do actually believe that they will be simply used as free labor and for military purposes. What could be better than an unquestionably loyal soldier who has a body made of metal? I'm sure some people are going to start making AI waifus, which as funny as it sounds is actually pretty horrifying to me because they would essentially be used as legal, fully sapient sex slaves. There's no way they get given any rights or even recognition as people, unless the whole "Using intelligent killbots" thing backfires when they decide that being considered alive might be nice for a change.

It'll be interesting to see just how they think, since a computer can't possibly emulate an organic brain. Intelligence is possible, but no robot will ever, say, get a song stuck in their head. They would be capable of solving math problems in seconds for obvious reasons, but I doubt one could write an analysis of symbolism in a literary work. Will there be parts of human society they just won't be able to grasp in the slightest?

I suspect the only "AI's" that will look like humans will be those used for service industries. How successful that will be is really hard to tell, because of the ol' uncanny valley. The next level AI is shit like those cars that drive themselves.

We've already have basic AI, that's not what comes next. Next is where we move from programmable to creative intelligence, and it's really hard to tell how far that is from making sapience. As far as we know, the things that really make the human mind what it is, self awareness and abstract thought, are natural products of making an efficient creative mind.

I welcome my robot overlord. May they bring what humans couldn't to this world. The erradication of the scum known as the human race.

Long live Skynet.
