Well, there would also be many ways that we could get around this. If a greedy person just likes to see how much better off he is than everyone else, he might be satisfied with a few robot friends who play the part of poor, miserable people. Or perhaps therapeutic robots/implants could be advertised as increasing “wealth” while really just helping the person to let go of his insatiable materialism.

I, too, will be really dissapointed if the robot revolution only furthers human misery for the sake of a few narcissists. Robots can create much more happiness through aiding cooperation rather than competition.

There is no down side to the human race becoming a machine entity providing we retain self knowledge, joy in our lives and pleasure in discovery and invention, but there is a danger.

The more greedy (or competitive if you like) of our future cyber-humans will out-source cognitive functions in order to out compete their contemporaries. There will be those among us who will want to win at any cost and will buy every out-sourced cybernetic enhancement they require to do so. The less competitively minded, and often more intelligent, among us will have out source too, or face extinction. All the things we value about being human might gradually disappear as our consciousnesses become more fragmented. We might even lose the ability to be conscious. All the would be left would be a stupid resource hungry cybernetic entity that has no more knowledge of what it is than a colony of ants.

Unless we curb our instincts to out do each other we may out-do ourselves.

Because electronics could process information faster than biological tissues. Plus human are lazy. Why should I manage my business for example, if I can let my robots to manage it for me?

why would anyone want the human race to be replaced by robots?

AIs exist and will evolve into more capabilities and someone will figure a way to profit,it’s inevitable. Greed will reach a whole new level. I shudder the thought.

Hi Fresh Writing, it is nice to see someone who like my article. If it is alright with you, I will add you as my friend. I even wrote another article about friendship in Triond.

Hello Ori,

Interesting article! The future of robots is uncertain and foggy.

Will they or will they not be the next ‘big’ thing? Robots are more productive, effective, and emotionless than humans, but they can, and never will, have or be what humans are today. AI in Triond is already active (in terms of fraud), and I’m sure it’s useful for those that cheat , but most have already been caught, probably.

Interesting article; I apologize for blabbing a little bit here, but you have brought up some interesting things-robots: the new future?

Thanks for writing this! Is it alright if I friend you? You seem to release interesting articles that are definitely worthwhile to read.

@Barnaby Dawson
You are right about cloneable minds of AI. Of course there are lots of economic benefit for creating AI with human equivalent intelligence. Your other points about travel cost is very useful as well. Thanks for your comment.

@Ruby Hawk
Actually this is no different than making children, educate them and let them run the society one day. One way or another we are going to be taken over by something else. It is just these AI are more efficient children in some regards.

@Everyone
Thank you for your comments

I don’t know if we should make machines that can take over the human thought process.Maybe things would run smoother but humans would become stupid and go backward. We would have no reason to learn.

I don’t think that everything is possable right now but, theres a good chance that it could happen in time. Think of the movie AI and the things that happened in that movie. Humans may become obsuleat.
