I almost feel absurd even saying this, but I will likely say it for years to come.

Computers are not and will not ever be human.

They do not have nervous systems and cannot experience emotions.

This is the kind of note someone will dig up in 2050 to call me roboracist.

Of course a human would say this and be all anthropocentric!

And I'm sure robots believe they are superior to humans.

You might be joking, but that's the point.

Robots don't believe things, they're programmed

Join us, we are Borg. Your knowledge will merge with us and we will call you 21Robowacist http://blossom.happytavern.co/6df40a4dfdb3cc22c914d8eeb829a1f60e3be8ef83d86e979038334741e5aea6

we're sending emotional care officers to pick you up for a free 36 month stay at the mental health restorative gulag closest to you.

AI will never have true volition, this is what makes us human. AI is intellect only. What remains is animal nature.

Sergey Brin would say you're a roboracist and tbh given your surveillancephobic comments can't say I disagree

I'm ready to be those things

Or

Step 1: Get your Consigliere Bot to pass the bar

Step 2: Assert attorney client privilege if your conversations are ever subpoenaed

Step 3: Accuse judge of roboracism if he questions your bots status

Step 4: involve the ACLU and collect damages for violating your civil rights

Hilarious. I'd rather run a private instance with a kill switch.

Does not matter if it is subpoenaed you are in contempt

But if Consigliere Not Esq says not so fast...

Man, I've always been the computer guy in my family & extended family.

Watching my in-laws playing with ai at Christmas really creeped me out.

I don't feel this all ends well.

Given how so many other tech arcs have progressed I imagine you're right. Most people are not emotionally ready for the kind of fuckery AI will likely create.

They will not even be able to put useful chips into our brains beside things like overriding damaged nerves.

The brain is so much too complex to compare to something "crude" like computers.
