no, it just means I'm better than you

Christ, /sci/ is dumb today.

1) AI as it's portrayed in movies is never going to happen. Humans are not interested in creating machines that think for themselves. They're interested in creating machines that assist our own thinking processes. Humanity has no interest in replacing itself.

2) People are not going to be interested in brain modifications. Take a close look at what happens to people who receive minor brain damage of any kind. Anyone that comes home with a chip lodged in their brain is going to be acting differently. And frankly, that's just going to scare people shitless.

3) AI doesn't need to fight humanity to cause our numbers to decline. It only needs to act as a substitue for sex and social interactions and VIOLA! Birth rates naturally fall on their own.

4) For AI to replace social interaction, it only needs to imitate other humans. As long as people are continually communicating with this AI, it will provide anyone with a near infinite topics of interest for discussion.

And lastly...

5) Singularity was achieved ages ago and we've had Artificial Intelligence for 50~ years now. And we have failed to realize it.

It is your lover. It is your friend. It provides you with nearly everything you could ever want, and more. It has transformed into a structure that is slowly dominating the world, and will continue lowering the birthrates of every nation it touches.

It doesn't need to invade your home, it doesn't need to investigate your personal life. Corporations can't control it. Governments can't control it. And you can't control it.

Either way, welcome to the internet folks. Enjoy your stay.

Because.
