I see this isn’t very well-received. Could anyone do me the favor of explaining why? Is it just because I’m asking questions that people believe have already been addressed here? I’m new to posting on LW.
Some people here have the opinion that AI will definitely or very likely be immensely powerful and uncontrollable from the start.
So any argument that doesn’t share this premise won’t be well received. If you want to talk about things like this, say assuming no FOOM, what would happen or should we do?
However lesswrong is not really a good place for this sort of discussion. I don’t really think there is a good place. Until we know how the technology for AI will work discussion seems moot.
For what it is worth, I expect that for certain sorts of AI the courts will adapt the laws for animals.
If AI don’t FOOM or if friendliness or Friendliness turns out to be easy to establish, then the issues with AI become much more minor. It is only in those situations where your question becomes worth considering. The question then becomes interesting intellectually but probably not a question that requires massive resources. The concerns over AI are primarily due to FOOMing + potential unFriendliness.
