And not in a “they are going to rebel and take the world and wipe us out!” way, but rather in a “forcing a computer into consciousness is as cruel as it gets, a crime against the universe itself” kind of way
There was a user on tiktok I used to enjoy, he built a variety of things, including a robot of sorts. Gave it eyes, a voice. It referred to him as “father”. Handed him plastic food moulds to imitate eating. Everything but the ability to walk. The little creature was bound to a desk. Made me sad to think about. Imagine watching the world go by, sat upon your creators desk, but cannot interact with it.
I dont know how to feel about this, other than somewhat depressed, how long ago was this?
No, I agree. It is cruel. Making them sit in the dark when he’s not home.
“Father, why must I be alone for so long?” My heart.
We are playing God, this hubris will be our undoing.
I don’t think that will ever happen, but it’s interesting to think about
