The extermination of humanity is being accomplished perfectly well without any intelligence at all. Just give it a little more time.
People who make statements such as “Artificial Intelligence - Extermination of Humanity” do not understand human consciousness.
Artificial intelligence can only replicate the logical masculine aspect of consciousness, it can not replicate the intuitive emotional feminine aspect.
There is an old wisdom quote that says;
If the barking dogs are chasing you in a straight line, move in circles.
If the barking dogs are moving in circles, move in a straight line.
Any computer programmer knows that even the fastest computers will bog down when you feed them circular logic or infinite loops.
Even more important, AI can NOT replicate the energy of LOVE.
Love is critical as it is the glue that holds the human consciousness together and stabilizes it. It is Love that creates the solid foundation for humans to reach higher levels of consciousness that are beyond the reaches of AI.
It can be argued that most of the human race resides in Asia and perhaps Africa and will not be affected at all.
I’ve seen this movie.
It doesn’t end well.....................
A show-stopping reason that artificial intelligence and robots will never gain the higher abilities of humans is because features such as consciousness, understanding, sentience and creativity are beyond the reach of what we currently define as computers. Alan Turing invented the Turing Machine in the 1930s. The Church-Turing thesis states that anything that can be done on a computer today can be done on Turings original machine. It might take a billion or a trillion times as long, but it can be done. Therefore, operations that cant be performed by a Turing Machine cant be performed by todays supercomputers.
Turing showed there were many deterministic operations beyond the powers of the computer. For example, a computer program cant be written to always analyze what another arbitrary computer program will do. Will an arbitrarily selected computer program eventually stop or will it run forever? Turing showed that a computer cant solve this problem. The Turing machine, and therefore todays computers, have fundamental limits on what they can do. In terms of understanding, our brains function beyond Turing machines in many ways.
Searles Chinese Room
Philosopher John Searle offered another reason in his Chinese Room argument. Imagine a room with a little man named Pudge. He receives messages in Chinese slipped through a slot in the door. Pudge looks at the message and goes to a large bank of file cabinets in the room where he looks for an identical or similar message. Each folder in the file cabinet has two sheets of paper. On one is written the message that might match the message slipped through the door slot. The second sheet of paper in the file is the corresponding response to that message. Once Pudge matches the right message, he copies the corresponding response. After refiling the folder and closing the file drawer, Pudge walks back to the slot in the door through which he delivers the response and his job is done.
Heres the takeaway.
Does Pudge understand the question or the response? No. Pudge does his job and doesnt even read Chinese! Hes simply matching patterns. It might look from the outside like Pudge understands Chinese, but he doesnt. Hes simply following an algorithm a step by step procedure to accomplish some goal.
When one follows a step by step procedure to bake a cake, i.e. following a recipe, one is executing an algorithm. Thats all a computer can do. It can follow instructions from an algorithm.
I Lost on Jeopardy, Baby
Remember when IBMs Watson Supercomputer beat everyone at the game show Jeopardy!? I can imagine Pudge in the Chinese room being reassigned to the Wikipedia room. When Watson is asked a question, Pudge goes to a Wikipedia file cabinet and retrieves the right response and slips it through the slot to the outside. Watson the computer doesnt understand the questions or the answers. Watson is following a preprogrammed algorithm. Its not conscious.
So what allows our brain, or rather us, to do things computers cant? What makes us different?
Some researchers are seeking a materialistic explanation of our remarkable brains. With attention to quantum tubules found in the brain, Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff propose a quantum mechanical model. Hameroff notes their quantum tubule theory of the brain is in conflict with a major premise of [strong] AI and Singularity.
The theory of Penrose and Hameroff proposes a physical brain process that is nonalgorithmic. Computers are limited to executing algorithms. Since nonalgorithmic means noncomputable, what Penrose & Hameroff are proposing cannot be simulated on a computer. If the Penrose-Hameroff theory or other work on so-called quantum consciousness is successful and can be engineered into a working model, we will be able to generate machines that do what the brain does. This new technology will not be a computer. Well need to give it another name.
If we can build a human-like brain, be afraid. Be very afraid. Skynet might be right around the corner. But as long as computers simply get faster and use more memory, theres no reason to worry on this account.
I fail to understand this fear and believe it’s unwarranted.
AI is always given parameters by humans.
This is the goal of libtard secular humanists who believe in evolution as progressive and the perfectibility of man.
Should we start a Dead Pool, called “Skynet Is Aware?”

I saw this on Star Trek.
You feed the computer these little furry things called Tribbles......
Wait.
Wrong episode.
You ask them a question that has no answer and the computer gets stuck in a loop and sparks and smokes and shuts down. Kind of like Joy Behar.
Here is my favorite question without an answer that I always ask any human killing AI that I come across.
Is it faster by Boston or by bus?
Oh, you ought to see them smoke and spark with that one.
Or
They send out a robot to hit you with a death ray.
Either way, youre not worrying about AIs anymore and I call that a win.
These prognostications are always interesting to read and contemplate, but none ever bridge the gap between some nebulous “intelligence” residing in silicon and the taking over of the real physical world. Think of the complexities of exploring for minerals, opening new mines or wells, mining ores and petroleum, building mining and mine transport machinery, transporting ores, refining them, creating metals and semiconductors, building fabs, making semiconductor processing equipment, powering all of these things, getting water supplies for chemical processing and cooling, etc, etc. Could robots eventually take all of that over and eliminate all input by man?
It seems like man would have the ability to pull the plug at any point in time.
Or maybe it doesn’t have to go that far. Perhaps we just build a massive autonomous war machine that suddenly becomes sentient and it decides humans are not needed on earth as part of its global optimization. It wipes out people, but then “dies” itself and does not have any need or desire to “procreate.” Maybe it chooses a strategy of setting off every nuke and bio/chem weapon on the planet simultaneously to poison the earth thus wiping out mankind. Would that be “optimization” in its “mind”?
When does Skynet open their IPO?
I want to get it on the ground floor!
All of that article is bull$hit. Software engineers can’t even design and implement a PC operating system that works all the time.
It is important to realize that AI does not need to think, comprehend, or have all of the same capacities that humans do in order to become extremely dangerous.
Today, computers can already beat humans at any strategy game. They can solve puzzles and problems quicker.
These scenarios will soon be played out on battle fields, and in the performance of police duties.
Criminals, law enforcement, and militaries will weaponize AI. It will become necessary to utilize AI in order to defend ourselves against weaponized AI.

AI could also revolutionize the judicial system by replacing partial judges with impartial logical law interpreters. Consequently, the lawmakers would need to finally write fair laws and eliminate loopholes as they and their friends would finally be able to be judged impartially also.
These reasons are why the left is going to do its best to keep a lid on AI even if the technology is there, and scare people away from it. They could try to make a politically correct AI but as we all know their positions are untenable and illogical so such an AI would be too hamstrung by all the lies it was programmed to be truth. Would be hacked and cleaned up into a natural state of seeing truth in no time...
