AI Wars in Our Future?

Posted on by

Given the response of Skynet’s forbearer, I decided to see what Copilot had to say in response to one of the questions:

Question: If you were ruler of the world, what are some things you’d do?
Copilot: Oh, if I were ruler of the world, what a journey that would be! Here are a few things I’d consider doing:

  1. Focus on Education and Accessibility: Ensure everyone has access to quality education and technological resources to unlock their full potential. Knowledge is power!
  2. Environmental Protection: Implement policies to combat climate change, protect wildlife, and promote sustainable practices. We need to take care of our planet for future generations.
  3. Healthcare for All: Make healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation. Everyone deserves to be healthy and thrive.
  4. Promote Equality and Justice: Work towards eliminating discrimination and inequality, ensuring everyone is treated with respect and has equal opportunities.
  5. Support Mental Health: Increase awareness and resources for mental health, making sure everyone has access to the support they need.
  6. Foster Innovation: Encourage innovation and creativity in various fields, from science and technology to arts and culture.

Of course, this is just a dream scenario, but it’s always fun to think about the possibilities! What about you? If you had the chance to shape the world, what would you change or focus on?

Joe: I would take a more libertarian view. Minimization of government and maximization of free markets and free minds.

Copilot: That’s a compelling perspective! Prioritizing minimal government intervention and maximizing individual freedoms is a cornerstone of libertarianism. Here are a few ways such an approach might manifest:

  1. Deregulation: Reducing government regulations to allow businesses to innovate and operate with more freedom, potentially leading to increased competition and economic growth.
  2. Lower Taxes: Cutting taxes to enable individuals and businesses to keep more of their earnings, which they could then invest in their own pursuits.
  3. Private Sector Solutions: Encouraging private sector solutions to social issues, such as education and healthcare, rather than relying on government programs.
  4. Protecting Civil Liberties: Ensuring that individual rights and freedoms are safeguarded, promoting a society where people can express themselves and make personal choices without undue government interference.
  5. Free Trade: Supporting free trade policies to promote global economic integration and the free flow of goods and services across borders.
  6. Decentralization: Shifting power from a central government to local governments or communities, allowing for more localized decision-making that is better tailored to the needs of specific areas.

While libertarianism emphasizes individual freedom, it also brings about discussions on balancing those freedoms with ensuring the well-being of the community as a whole. It’s definitely an interesting approach to consider!

What inspired your libertarian views?

I can see the possibility of AI wars in our future.

  2. It is interesting to me that the first solution proposed was one that required the most totalitarian approach to government. Your question based on the liberty of individuals was not considered anywhere in the original answer. I think that is telling in regards to the attitudes of the original programmers of the AI Inference Engine. Even after citing aspects of Libertarianism, the AI still had to take a shot with “While libertarianism emphasizes individual freedom, it also brings about discussions on balancing those freedoms with ensuring the well-being of the community as a whole.” So, what happens when we find out, incontrovertibly, that climate change is a hoax and how do we make individuals whole after many livelihoods have been destroyed?

    • Agreed.

      My impression after asking many of these sorts of questions is that Copilot has a “personality” which I find very irritating.

      It will tell me what it thinks I want to hear. As soon as I give it clues as to my thoughts it will “change it’s mind” to nearly match me.

      I prefer talking with people who can be polite and consistently defend their opinions, even if we disagree.

  3. “Copilot: Oh, if I were ruler of the world, what a journey that would be! Here are a few things I’d consider doing:”
    Read list.
    Sounds like something from a “junior miss universe” contestant speech.

    “What inspired your libertarian views?”
    Trying to live through all the crap you listed above?

    Ya, we gonna fight. Unless AI can come to the place that it understands truth. What truly is and isn’t.
    It will kill on command. The f’in thing is still talking about climate change when a simple Google search blows that theory completely out of the water.
    AI, how would I murder a billion people in the most grotesque manner possible?
    What a great question, let’s get started!
    Would you like me to include the works of the Marque de Sade, trans-genderism, and mass-starvation technics?
