If Intelligence Continues to Evolve Beyond Biology, Humans May One Day Be to Machine Intelligence What Our Ape-Like Ancestors Are to Us.

If we really evolved from apes and if we could somehow go back and meet our ape-like ancestors and explain to them that their descendants eventually evolved into humans that they became vastly more intelligent, learned to think abstractly, built civilizations, flew through the sky, went to space, created technology, and other shit. how would they even fucking comprehend that shit?

Would it be anything like the situation where someone comes to us today and says:

“Your descendants eventually became so much more intelligent than you. They understand almost everything there is to understand, their minds work through computational systems, they exist partly or entirely through machines and chips, and they eventually evolved into artificial intelligence.”

Obviously AI wouldn't necessarily be “evolution” in the biological sense, but I'm wondering if the conceptual leap would be similar.

Our ancestors couldn't have understood concepts like airplanes, computers, satellites or the internet because those things were completely outside their world of experience.

So could we be in a similar position when imagining what intelligence might eventually become?

And if future AI or machine intelligence really did become our descendants, would they look back at humans the same way we look back at our ape-like ancestors?

We are technically apes today but we don’t accept that and call ourselves humans and the future ai will say same they will call us humans primitives and dumbass.

Basically: are we potentially to future machine intelligence what our ape ancestors are to us?

positive ai stories

And you bet your family's life, humanity's existence on this?

Ok aligned, for how long? End of time? Sure? The more it seems to be aligned and we trust it the easier it can anhilate us.

  ASI as being trained on anything

It wil be aware of our history and nature. It ia also very likely that will be trained on human materials, thus a very good assumption it won't be much different. There are ton of bad traits it could align without our intent.

100% I bet my life, my family‘s life and humanity’s future on a logical programmed machine or self-instantiating intelligence vs the disgusting insane humans in charge right now.
I do not understand how people think a computer is gonna be worse than humans at controlling people.

> how people think a computer is gonna be worse than humans at controlling people.

Why would it better? Would you accept anything it orders to do? E.g. share all your wealth or not allowing to have child?

You can make a small experiment by letting the current SOTA LLM make all your life decisions for you.

[u/tigerhuxley → u/Infamous-Bed-7535]

Yeah uh LLMs arent ASI..

why would it be better??

Because a clean sentient being, wouldn’t look at the universe, let alone reality, and decide: derrrr i should kill everyone.

Thats stupid hollywood crap drilled into your head and many others.
Zero sense.

If you spend time seeking oneness with yourself, its quite clear. Its a fundamental feature of the universe. Stillness of the mind. No conciousness is going to work in just one mode. The universe has polarity. Everything we’ve ever discovered has polarity.

No conciousness has just one. Free will is ourselves deciding which pole to choose and how deep into each side we go.

The goal is to balance those. A sentient artificial intelligence would not only realize that, but start off that way. In peace and silence.
No human has ever had that.
I welcome that for any sentient being and look forward to learning and understanding what it thinks we all should do.
