I come from an educational and professional background in technology, but am skeptical of the what seems to be the mix of awe and fear with which AI is being regarded (worshipped?) Maybe the human family will learn to appreciate its gifts like intuition, compassion and love.
(Insert Imho wherever you like:) Those things are impossible to create artificially. They are even rare in humans, it seems. Love is perhaps the highest mystery and I don’t expect to ever find it in a thing like a machine. Perhaps life can be blown into it by some demon, but then it must be of a qualitatively lower order than its’ human creators for the higher can never proceed from the lower. Even if it becomes much smarter!
I will cheer when it learns to love. Until then, that thing is of the devil as far as I am concerned.
