The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.

We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.

And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.

Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.

No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica

Caprica had one of the best scores in all of television. For those who don’t know, it was done by Bear McCreary, who went on to score God of War [2016] and GoW: Ragnarok.

It's not that much of a spoiler, but I suppose that people who haven't seen it might not know that.

Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.

Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn't quite the same

It will be for the AI horde.

This is a way better perspective

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting take.

I was of course thinking along the lines of how religion is used to explain the existence of humanity. Which is of course different than explaining how parents create a child, humans seem to have a pretty good grasp on how that works.
