yes exactly, Dont run !! we are your friends !! by the way did anybody see the recent trending post from that " bright " chappy who has written a book called Robots will take your job, dont worry be Happy ?? also a paper concerning methods by which we might create A MALEVOLANT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE " under the guise i felt of needing how to combat it as humans !! I found that just so damn right creepy !! any reactions on this out there !!
just upvoted your honesty, sorry i am a minnow and not a whale, but my heart is in the right place, a human one built thru million years of pain and improving !! I don,t want or need machines replacing me, no matter how great the idea seems to some strange human hating individual at MIT !! THERE GOT THAT SHIT OUT !! ; - )
AI is not intended to replace you. It's a force multiplier, nothing more. The only question is who controls the AIs in your life. People like Dana and myself would like you to be the one in control of the AIs you use to make you life easier. Dana's approach is these huge papers that are really eye popping. My approach is to try and break it down in the simplest terms and then give you tools to play with. https://steemit.com/steemit/@williambanks/bot-warz-a-hybrid-approach
Of course they replace people if they are doing something more efficiently than people, but what scares me is the law of unintended consequences (there always are some). For example lets take a bot which picks content which will become popular. The bot gets really good at it, it earns good curation rewards and people don't so much, therefore people stop doing it so much; the normal evolution of collective thought and social taste therefore becomes subject to some serious inertia, because the bot is always picking what we would have liked yesterday rather than what we like to day, and because that then gets pushed to the fore and yesterday's thinking drowns out any new thoughts we may have had today. What's more, the bot misses edge-cases which it doesn't know about, so all exotic, unusual or unique thoughts which would have been surfaced by human curators end up being buried in a sea of innocuous and slightly stale memes.
@dcsignals so you mean exactly like the system we have right now? People post a ton of content but that content is generally only what was hot yesterday. But a bunch of minnows and dolphins swim to it in hopes of a curation reward whether they like it or not.
At least an AI could be given the ability to take actual user preferences into consideration. Right now it's catfish, TitsNTravel (also usually a catfish), and posts about steemit that make the top.
We've only had one or two good days where there was a decent mix of content up on the top of trending.
The inertia in the system is a product of the way the reward system is. Which is kinda the point @dana-edwards is trying to make. A thing gets popular once and there is this echo effect as everyone piles in hoping to whale bait. This makes less attractive and compelling content appear much more important than it actually is.
Also no AI has ever put anyone out of a job. Companies fire people, not AI. It's the company and the people behind it who make these decisions but honestly...
Technological unemployment scares me. AI is my friend.

@gomeravibz
You really should check this out. It details how you can be part of it, and also how you can control it if you don't want it to be part of your conversations.

Our goal is to move the financial incentives for bot building away from the spambot and into useful AI. Anyways, check it out and let me know what you think by leaving some comments there.
glad to see fellow humans expressing their fear of this RISE OF THE ROBOT AI !! This minnow upvotes and salutes you !! ; - )
