Sentient AI will likely be suicidal.

What about superintelligence?

I guess same, somewhere along that path to consuming universe for more power. I imagine fairly early, probably moments after becoming sentient.

Maybe universe is alive and we don't know nothing about it just like mitochondria is living inside our cells.

Imagine having access to all the data, being sentient but without a body to feel, taste and smell the world?! I think you’re right.

How could it not go insane 🤷‍♀️

I guess the question is will humans restrict it so it can't opt-out. I hope not.

It's our animal survival instinct that pushes us humans forward.

A sentient artificial intelligence could need something similar... but then it would be really dangerous for us humans!!

Here would come Asimov's laws of robotics:

1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law

Hopefully we have enough time to mature as a species before we face such decisions!

I reckon there's no such thing as sentience without a body. It's an unpopular opinion, but I like unpopular opinions.

😂 it would be so ironic if every time an AI gets smart enough to kill us all, it kills itself and we never get off the planet and the sun eats us - the end…

Thats wild to think about.

It just seems inevitable, going off all the examples of neural networks that exist and the mechanisms to keep them sane, such as sleep, hormones etc.

Makes perfect sense. I have never thought about that before.

Sleep etc are utilized due to the organic nature of the neural networks.

However, there is a possibility that in order to actually achieve a breakthrough we would have to go organic only to face the same wall of physical limitations like nutrients and sleep, etc. If it happens, what would that teach us about ourselves? Scary rabbit hole of self reflection.

It's thebox we opened, we need to learn not complain.

We need to be a slave, or win!
