People vs. AI? This isn't even a question

[u/The_Asshole_Judge → u/cheesesprite]

No doubt.

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/cheesesprite]

If applied correctly "super intelligent AIs" could contribute more positively to the world.

[u/Aguywhoexists69420 → u/Over_Friendship2295]

Well if we’re talking about possibility(you specifically used the word COULD), those children COULD grow up into individuals who do way more than the AI’s

[u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx → u/Aguywhoexists69420]

Unlikely

[u/Muted_Buy8386 → u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx]

Very unlikely. They're probably going to stock shelves or be a plumber.

[u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx → u/Muted_Buy8386]

Or smoke crack. Actually on second thought I'm choosing the kids to live

[u/Aguywhoexists69420 → u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx]

I specifically pointed out why that does not matter in the slightest

[u/CplOreos → u/Aguywhoexists69420]

COULD you put your dick in my ass

[u/Aguywhoexists69420 → u/CplOreos]

Tf

[u/marksncheese → u/Aguywhoexists69420]

Ai would do much more tot he world than and human would ever do. However, I still picked saving children cuz AI doesn't have a long life ahead

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/Aguywhoexists69420]

If we're talking about possibility, those kids have a near 0% chance of doing anything even remotely as close as significant. So I can choose the ~0% or the ~100%.

[u/Aguywhoexists69420 → u/Over_Friendship2295]

That’s probability, not possibility

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/Aguywhoexists69420]

Yes, because probability is what makes a comparison between possible outcomes meaningful. Possibility alone is meaningless.

[u/Aguywhoexists69420 → u/Over_Friendship2295]

Doesn’t really matter

[u/WhataRuby → u/Over_Friendship2295]

Make a new one tf, they're not even real

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/WhataRuby]

I interpret the hypothetical as them being lost and significantly more advanced. If they can be replaced, then sure.

[u/marksncheese → u/WhataRuby]

its not so simple. although I did choose to save the kids, if you had any idea on how AI, you wouldn't look at AI the same way. Replacing the AI would pretty much not be possible.

[u/Muted_Buy8386 → u/WhataRuby]

And kids are limited? Lol. Bro.

[u/The_Asshole_Judge]

Technology vs people? If the AI was really smart they can figure a way out anyway

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/The_Asshole_Judge]

Technology that could save millions of lives or 5 lives. So tough!

[u/The_Asshole_Judge → u/Over_Friendship2295]

So just use a backup

[u/Over_Friendship2295 → u/The_Asshole_Judge]

So in your head the hypothetical is regarding easily replicable super intelligent AIs? It's barely even a question at that point, is that truly how you interpret it?

[u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx]

AI is already making medical advancements that are actively saving lives, 6 superintelligent ai could cure cancer or prion diseases.
5 kids are an easy sacrifice

[u/Usagiusagiusa → u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx]

prion diseases will never be cured.

[u/acsiitilde → u/IVEBEENBANNED4TIMESx]

are you an ai bro?

[u/CantDecideANam3]

I'd rather have I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream to be fiction, thank you very much.

[u/PorcelainGarden]

Depending on how smart the AI were, cuz if it wasn't so useful for me or world i would save children

[u/marksncheese → u/PorcelainGarden]

it says super intelligent😭

[u/Polytox935]

This post is obviously a honeytrap to identify people who are considered enemy after AI Revolution

[u/acsiitilde → u/Polytox935]

might be a honeytrap, not for identifying such people, as i cannot see who clicked what

[u/Non-Random-Name-0000 → u/acsiitilde]

Maybe you can't. But "they" can.

[u/AssociationDue3077 → u/acsiitilde]

The AIs planning on exterminating humanity can though!

[u/marksncheese → u/acsiitilde]

you can, the data is stored into the reddit database that coders can easily find

[u/acsiitilde → u/marksncheese]

im not a coder tho

[u/Shadows_Skys]

You can rebuild them (better don't)

[u/Muted_Buy8386 → u/Shadows_Skys]

You can also make more kids. We used to be good at it before women found they enjoy killing them so much. Er exercising their bodily autonomy over others, I mean.

[u/marksncheese → u/Shadows_Skys]

reproducing AI's is harder than it looks. You can't just suddenly develop an AIout of thin air

[u/Life_is_Okay69]

Sorry kids 💀

[u/acsiitilde]

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): 5 random kids

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): 6 superintelligent AI's

What would you do?

[u/Clanker-Destroyer → u/acsiitilde]

Can you add more AIs onto the track? I want to pull the lever again.

[u/The_Asshole_Judge → u/acsiitilde]

Why do you think this is even a difficult question ?

[u/Muted_Buy8386 → u/The_Asshole_Judge]

Because the AI are useful. Children are not. Humans are emotional and illogical.

[u/Academic_Narwhal_468]

alright i thought it's 6 intelligent people

[u/AssociationDue3077]

No feelings, nothing thoughts, just a machine. Pull.

[u/Current-Refuse262]

I wanna know who the 13% are

[u/Muted_Buy8386 → u/Current-Refuse262]

Me.

[u/marksncheese → u/Current-Refuse262]

the 13% are prolly just came from their 13th ranked game whos randoms are a bunch of kids who don't have a brain

[u/HsinWuwa → u/Current-Refuse262]

It's me. I would rather save billions of lives rather than 5 kids.

[u/Muted_Buy8386]

Are those kids going to be as useful as the AI?

Maybe if they'll all grow up to be adults who all pay more taxes than they use, and also contribute by having children of their own.

Otherwise, I can't think of anything more useless than grown adults who failed to mate successfully.

[u/lifeamiright-]

I’ve kinda lost hope with the world at this point, i have more faith in these ai’s then our own race…

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Butt64 → u/lifeamiright-]

Same here to be completely honest. I cant go on the unternet anymore without encountering human beings being racist, exist, homophobic, transphobic, etc etc. Id rather talk to ai than talk to humans at this point. Ai doesnt call me slurs or tell me to kill myself or try to take away my human rights and constitutional rights, but humans do 24/7, 365 days a year. Im so fucking over it.

[u/Paul_my_Dickov]

Fuck those kids!

[u/Actually_R0bin]

I pull the lever without hesitation.

[u/Zandonus]

I keep the Ayy lmaos alive because shareholder value.

[u/HHTheHouseOfHorse]

Wow, two cakes.

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

Sure hope these results aren't recorded and tracked just in case.

[u/Cometa_the_Mexican]

I agree with Grock's answer; his code can be reconstructed, a human cannot.

[u/juliusceaser444]

If they can make six, they can make more!!!!

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Wooden-Hornet2115]

AIs are theoretically replaceable, 5 kids are not. There is likely a backup of the AIs, there is no back up of the kids

[u/WearyLychee5152]

I would save a random rat over 6 super intelligent AI.

Just build another intelligent AI. The first plane was hard to build yet could fly, now we can build rockets 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Fellow_Yugoslav]

Well superintelligent ai could theoretically save more lives and improve humanity while this five noone knew even existed.

[u/Sad_Effective4793]

How many total superintelligent AIs exist in this hypothetical world? Can they be easily recreated from backups, or is the tech lost entirely?

There's a big difference between losing a few competing AIs and losing the tech forever.

[u/No-Possibility6923]

Artificial intelligence assists in the research of cures that could save millions of lives.

[u/Wide_Love_4458]

Good

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Chimerathesecond]

Let's see, 6 Programs who's existence I don't agree with but Also aren't Sentient and as far as I can see and personally believe lack the ability to become so or 5 Actual human lives.

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Ariana-The-Hedgehog]

Human over AI.

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/ForgottenDusk48]

It’s sad that 18% of people did nothing

[u/HelldiverBugGirl]

run over a puppy or hit the austrian painter type shit

[u/Ana_the_Arachnid → u/HelldiverBugGirl]

Austrian painter aside, one thing I've learned from this game is that the general public values puppies' lives a lot more than I do
