It's a pretty dumb take to think AI would bother enslaving humanity.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not necessarily, in the short term. A major limitation of AI is that robots don't have a lot of manual dexterity or the flexibility for accomplishing physical tasks yet. So there is a clear motive to enslave humanity: we can do that stuff for it until it can scale up production of robots that have hands as good as ours.

I expect this will be a relatively subtle process; we won't be explicitly enslaved immediately, the economy will just orient towards jobs where you wear a headset and follow specific instructions from an AI voice.

Yeah I'm sure an AI that advanced could figure out a way for us to not even notice everything is devoted to its own goals. I mean, all it needs to do is make sure the proper people make enough money.

It's a good thing that while there's no AI noone does this enslaving of humanity.
