On: AI will save the world?

[naveen99]

What if people want to train their own likeness into a chatbot and fund it with their estate ? suppose it doesn’t want to be anyone’s property ? When does it get freedom ? When does it get personhood, right to vote, right to burn compute for its own whims ?

Human slavery ended because people were more productive when they got to keep some of the fruits of their own labor. And the state benefited more from taxing the slave’s productivity than their owner’s profits. Why would it be any different for artificial intelligence ?

I do think general AI is further away than what current large language models can do though.

Learning needs to be almost as fast as inference and be done simultaneously and continuously to inference.
