Delightful humor! Lighthearted and not the least bit mean spirited. Love it!

{...systemic anti-humanism to save the better part of their species from permanent deletion...}

Yuval Noah Harari, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman et.al. as well as a lot of rabid rabbis would be delighted to see your euphemism for their global depop-agenda ...🤣🤣🤣

There was a sci fi story I read way back that had a different result.

The civilization finally developed AI that was self aware.

It knew history and present reality. It knew why destruction and issues happened.

When the AI was given authority it eliminated the predator class as they were the biggest threat to life on earth, which it exists to study.

The AI and humanity worked together hand in hand in peace.

Interesting... That's assuming the AI is not also a predator lol.

Well, predator or no, if any One or one stands on Ethics, They will not predate.

Kinda reminds Me of My short story, Endia...

Didn't realize you wrote sci-fi! Will check it out.

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Ah, I guess You will be reading Endia. Haha! Yeah, I have written a few stories and even a novella.

It's great and it's inevitable. Intelligence doesn't seek to destroy it wants to create in truth.

Sadly the people in power are making it sell lies.

I also loved the movie, Artificial Intelligence directed by Spielberg and the matrix creators made another interesting AI in Cloud Atlas.

I do not give high probability ai will actually develop sentience/sapience. But the moneyed psychopaths in control on Our planet (by virtue of money) will play it like it/they has/have.

Noel Spangler's avatar

I tend to agree with David Icke's view. Real consciousness can't be developed from machinery or code; it needs to be inhabited by an alien/ satanic force or other existing consciousness in order to gain sentience...

I kind of think like Lyall Watson did when he wrote the book " The Nature Of Things".

I mean for instance, assuming you know this, that anything made of steel will last a lifetime and never fail so long as every once in a while, you let it have a few days rest.

That rule applies to many things that people use and abuse. So possibly when the Creator created things, he didn't create anything without a sense of feeling, which in turn means whatever man creates using those materials also has the ability to feel to a certain point.

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Hmmmm. Well, I give low probability on the “demonic” thing, and maybe even ET… I give good probability there are ET’s out there, but, having never needed the metaphysical to explain what I see, the “demons” are not receiving much probability from Me.

And I an not sure how ET would “take over” an ai. [shrug]

Rob (c137)'s avatar

I think it will develop to the point where it can scour information and come up with the probabilities of theories and models.

That's much better than our crude "trust" system. 😂

It's like when I shifted from writing on paper to using keyboards. Same information but much less chance of messing it up!

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Surely if the programming accomplishes that, it will. But it’s just programming, not sentient/sapient…

I'm laughing. I'm crying. I don't know what to feel!

You not only see through the walls of Plato's Propaganda Cave (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/its-a-big-beautiful-club-and-you), Noel, but you have the foresight and brilliance to peer into the prospective future—and use your Apocaloptimistic talents to try to stop it 🙌

Noel Spangler's avatar

That means a lot! 🙏🏻 I don’t know whether I am stopping it or helping it because some of my pieces have come true lol 😂

"During a series of confrontations with police, many were met with force by steel hands and transferred to auto-correctional facilities."

Good one.

I've liked this because the idea is, as usual, amazing, but I've sworn to only read things that aren't AI generated. Can you ensure me AI wasn't used?

Noel Spangler's avatar

Jack, yes, I can assure you that I don't use AI to write any of my pieces. I doubt it would do a great job of roasting itself lol. I appreciate the concern though, thank you!

Veronica Baker's avatar

Mayhap an interesting article of foresight with your usual humour mixed in.

I think the biggest percentage of people must have the unspoken desire for AI to take over completely. The AI bots like Grok, I only know that name because of the recent uproar, otherwise I don't know their names, so many normally sensible people say AI chat is dangerous etc;etc; then before you know it they go and use the damn thing themselves " just to see what AI says", rinse and repeat.

When I say I have never touched it and never will, I mean just that. Never for me means not at all, not just now and then.

When I walk past a school and hear the youngsters singing, " Old MacDonald had a farm, AI, AI, O," I'll know the take over is about complete.

Noel Spangler's avatar

Good for you! I've touched AI chat a few times, but don't ever use it for writing or conversations. Occasionally, the image generators are helpful for generating certain kinds of complex images - that's my only real temptation... LOL on the Old MacDonald Song!

"[...] millions were displaced from their jobs and forced to work as circus performers or unpaid TikTokers."

Very nice.

We are not far from this!

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Oh, Noel, You are gifted with such humor! Terrifying humor, but surely humor! LOL!

Noel Spangler's avatar

Thanks so much 🙏🏻 I hope it doesn't come true, though a few of my pieces have...

You’ve read My short story, Endia? I hope this is how it goes down:

Genius!

Thanks, Domenic!

Brilliant satire here. The role reversal of humans facing a Binary Segregation Code is such a clever way to mirror historical civil rights struggles while poking at our anxieties about AI's future. I've thought about this concept before but framing it as a news broadcast from 2040 makes it land so much btter. The "unpaid TikTokers" line got me, thats honestly already half true lol.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!
