I've read the original Meditations but apparently this translation of them is much more user friendly!

But we also know what humanity is like, we will create AI for war, we will create it for profit and they are two things that will not create better wellbeing for us, it won't result in more time to spend with family. It will result in more time for the rich to spend with family while the rest of humanity starves and suffers. It will become something for the rich, do you think we will be giving AI robots to third world countries to help them survive, help them grow enough crops and such. I think the issue is not what AI is capable of, it's how we get to it's end goal. Remember the whole idea is this AI will learn from us and it won't be learning just the good aspects of humanity but the bad traits too. We need to get ourselves in order first and I just do not see that happening.

I agree with Phil on this one. Do believe there is a place for AI to do good and free up time for us to spend with family and friends. Just need to get a good grip on it before things start going south.

Personally i think our time can be used better by caring for each other. Looking after the young and the elderly, for example. Humans like a challenge and we have 'imagination', so we would always be up to something interesting. Right now we're wage slaves and we've been persuaded our only only value is in our labour. That's fucked up imo Most people have latent creativity and skills they never get to develop because putting food on the table and paying the bills takes a lot of energy. I'm more afraid of the world we live in today than an AI future.
