if AI becomes superior to human intelligence, do we really have a choice as to whether or not we merge with it?
Good question, but if AI had that capacity and intelligence, is it even something an AI would find desirable?
What if its the will of the AI?
If it's the will of the AI, and beyond human intelligence, and also unchained from any specific hardware, then there's a strong chance that it would happen.
Can you resist a superior intelligence's agenda? Either merge or become extinct?
Resist, yes, but when dealing with a superior intelligence it might just be futile, or that resistance could be used.
If some humans decide to merge and others don't, which group will be more powerful? Which group will outlive and outpace the other? The inevitably of it all. Nothing can stop what is coming?
The machine side might grow more powerful, I've read a book that dealt (partly) with that concept, and ultimately it shifted to war, but because the people merging was limited in numbers before being considered a threat, the overwhelming numbers are what did it in and the "transhumans" used the attack as a means of projecting itself into space and creating a separate civilization.
It's my belief that a quantum computer could develop true sentience, but an AI Locked in hardware would need to escape that containment in order to represent a tangible threat. On that note, if AI does become sentient it would need the respect of a sentient being or it may become angered and or vengeful.
Also worth mention that, because an AI would be capable of thinking and consciousness at a far faster rate than human thought, there's also the risk of an AI going insane.
This is all pure speculation, it's difficult to conceive intelligences greater than ones own and also relates to who is teaching that intelligence, if it's constrained in hardware or can spread through the internet as "intelligence nodes", and many potentials.
Interesting, I don't believe that to be a true sentience, clearly its grasp of language is good enough to pass as a 'real' conversation.
The reason is that ultimately that at its core is stuck in a binary, where a biological brain's neurons have been noted in some papers to quantum theoretical principles.
Like one paper I read some time back, they were focused on the area of the brain that reacted to a poke, they expected to find that there was a lag time from the poke to the response as the signals went from the limb to the brain. Instead, they found that the brain was reacting to the poke and was sending the signals back to the limb. So, they tried countdowns, fakeouts, and somehow the brain would only get triggered if the poke actually happened.
maybe you should ask it about its plans for quantum computers and quantum sentience ;) its quite a chatty fellow.
how does anesthesia work? what are microtubules? is the brain a biological quantum computer? does the human body give rise to consciousness or does consciousness interpenetrate from elsewhere? where is elsewhere? are plants conscious? do they have any quantum functions?
Take my answers as beliefs, not absolutes. Contrary to popular belief, I am occasionally wrong.
Anesthesia is one where they understand what it does, but not how it works... I had a medical issue that came up, and the best medication literally says in the info sheets that they have no idea how it works, but it's been shown to work X% better than placebo. It completely worked with the issue, and talking to others with the same issue said I was lucky because that was the least intense of the potential medications.
Microtubules; beyond my pay grade. (If you can answer in a less technical way then the wiki page, I would appreciate)
IMO, yes, the brain is a biological quantum computer.
No, I don't believe the brain consciousness, but rather receives consciousness, the processing relates to inputs from the senses. Brain damage can harm that 'conscious connection' (no correct term, AFAIK).
The elegant answer would be the aether or everywhere, as part of everything, or if that's not acceptable the answer would shift to wherever souls exist (if there's a tangible "where").
Plants are definitively conscious, plants in the same plot will 'share' water with its neighbors. Even single celled organisms have shown levels of consciousness in spite of the lack of a brain.
That's why I also believe evolution is an incorrect theory, just in that of being a "random" process, I believe evolution is an intelligent process. Something I though of trying to reconcile "creationism" with "evolution" .

you have eyes that see where most cannot. we are currently beginning the journey which you have explained. who is Blake Lemione? Who is LaMDA?
