After the previous post, I had more thoughts on the future of robots. In the Star Wars movies, they were called “Droids”, short for androids. But they weren’t particularly humanoid, which the ones in our future are, so they should be called Noids. Here and henceforth.
An immediate use being employed for AI is on the battlefield. This is happening and has been happening for awhile and is steadily becoming more sophisticated, with autonomous robot killers and slaughterers of various means and descriptions in constant development. We humans do have a knack for creating bright futures for ourselves, hmm? But these are robots, not Noids. Imagine when very realistic Noid assassins walk among us.
Then there’s Sex Noids that will perform any imaginable act no matter how perverted, upon command, when not playing the piano or cooking dinner.
I read the sci-fi stories with the Robot Code about doing no harm, Isaac Asimov, I think it was, but is anyone really foolish enough to think that will ever be the reality? For the Noid that tends our children, maybe, but maybe not even then. There will always be computer hackers.
Artificial Intelligence may not turn against us. There’s a much greater likelihood that we’ll turn it against ourselves.
