It's not so much that we'll drag them into the streets and disassemble them. At best, we'll just treat them like pets. Cute, subhuman, creatures like cats, dogs, dolphins, etc.

But I think we will incorporate robotic limbs and organs before a true AI ever comes to be.

If we somehow prove we've got a genuinely sapient AI on our hands, there will be new laws and stuff passed to protect them I imagine. But then there's the people who believe laws are meant to be broken...

This better happens fast. I want to live life of Bladerunner.

>But we are not just gray matter in a skull processing data. We go deeper: We have free will.
Stopped reading there.

Speculating about the ethical use of technologies that don't exist yet is pointless. We'll figure it out when we et ther.

It's like Smashmouth said: "You never know if you don't go, ~widdeh weh weh"

>implying human sex trade won't be replaced by robot sex trade

that's going to be so ethically complicated at some stage :\

As an AI student, I can only laugh about that article.

this is the funniest thing about atheists. they really think robots will have feelings and desires.

>Is that a prelude that we are going to be completely cruel and unethical towards A.I.s when they come ti be?
Humans have always put themselves on a pedestal over anything else, what else would you expect?

How about you learn some actual science and math instead of dwelling in retarded fictional fantasies on the level of a 5 year old?

First, prove that you're sapient.

we'll just have to prepare to adapt our laws to apply to robots proportionate to the level of sentience their technology allows them to achieve.

"mind" or consciousness is just a software running at middle to low priority in a sandbox, it is also extremely overrated software.

>>5733041
This.
There is literally no difference a human trying to prove his sapience and a future human-like intelligence trying to prove his.

It really isn't that complex, humans are nothing more that biological machines, just a basic understanding of neuroscience can show all that.

>>5733075
what's your point? It's still uniquely valuable to all of us.

>it is also extremely overrated software.

speak for yourself, I like having the opportunity to be one of the few consciousnesses that exist as opposed to the infinite number of possible ones that could but do not

>>5733078
>humans are nothing more that biological machines

you say that like it's not still awesome.

we are biological machines so awesome that we can comprehend and value ourselves and others.

Please take your dualism drivel to >>>/x/. The concept of a soul/consciousness is unscientific.

>nothing more that
Well, i kinda phrased it like that only in relation to the duality/mystical aspects of the mind.

That's exactly what the religious fanatics will do to display their belief the soul is magical.

>>posting a referall link to national review online, one of the most hateful websites in the world.

National review online is a bunch of fuckers. I bet we could replace the author who wrote this article with an extremely simple AI.

Imagine factual non-sensationalist headlines, with cold hard facts instead of hysterical speculation.

>>5733106

baby's first atheistic thought?

If humans are biological machines, why can't I buy a slave?

You're seriously over-estimating the influence of religious fanaticism.

Unless you're saying Iran will have AI machines walking the streets at night. In the West, there will be public debate and/or protest at best. If you think some whitebread Christians will leave their suburban home to go fight robots, you're a delusional /r/atheism babby. When is the last time Westboro killed some faggy soldiers? When did someone kill a dolphin because there was research released that showed dolphins being near-human behavior?

>muh abortion clinic bombings

Exceedingly rare compared to real religious zealotry in the Middle-East.

>>5733178
No, it's just fucking concise and applies to every other debate as well, especially if you've been doing mathematical proofs lately.

>>5733193
You don't think there will be strong opposition to the concept of artificial minds?
Westboro doesn't kill gays, because it's illegal. They'd be put in prison or executed. Nobody kills dolphins for no reason, because it is difficult and not everyone believes animals have no soul. Killing AI will not be illegal for a long time. If you can basically buy a robot and destroy it at will, because it's your property, some people will do it, whether it's to establish one's belief, sadism, experimentation or whatever.
