abadideaI cannot stop thinking about how a century of speculative fiction about catastrophic rogue AI meltdown became a self-fulfilling prophecy by building an AI that functions by running a probabilistic lookup on a table of all fiction humans have ever written to determine what the average AI would do in the current situation

@0xabad1dea yuhh I feel like Asimov would have found it very funny that we ended up with robots that think about the Three Laws of Robotics just because they happened to read his books
Jason Kraus@evan @0xabad1dea I remember one of his books the AI could be abused even with the Three Laws because they prevented the AI from recognizing that it was attacking humans by restricting what it could perceive. A newer plot line might be a modern Luddite group discovers some magic words that cause the AI to start hallucinating in unpredictable ways that circumvent the Three Laws.
Kevin Granade has moved@zbyte64 @evan @0xabad1dea that was addressed, but declared by fiat that the implementation of the three laws was "too core" to how the brains were built, such that while you could place a robot in some kind of logical quandary, the result would invariably be the robot becoming grossly non-functional instead of violating the three laws.
