I really need to read that book

Also finish the Foundation series

A great book <3

And a nice meme >v<

i do not get the point.

When people discuss AI, someone inevitably brings up Asomov's rules for robotics. Ya know- 1-dont hurt people, 2-Obey orders, 3-protect yourself so long as it doesn't conflict with 1 or 2. They were first brought up in a Sci-Fi book he wrote. Some people like to hold them up as this perfect set of rules- regardless of the fact they aren't taken seriously in actual AI engineering. Its kind of mental how often people bring them up no matter how many times they're shot down.

And ,of course, The book "I,Robot" was literally Asimov showing how those very rules could fail. Hence the meme.

i don't get it.

how could that happen?

The video link I put in shows how the rule's shortcomings pretty well. the dudes an actual AI Engineer, so he explains it better than I could. You should check it out, it's pretty interesting :3

no i got that it's rather obvious.

but how does "this will fail" be read "perfect solution"?

how have they managed to think that?

Ah, I get ya.
Yeah, that's what the rest of us are wondering too.

technically, aren't we "AI"?

is a programme that changes on his own no longer an "AI"?

Yep, may it be "artificial" or not an intelligence is an intelligence, a complex AI would just seem like a human when you get to a point.
That's where most people get tripped up, they keep trying to look for ways humans are somehow special, and the idea of an "object" being on that same level is an idea a lot of people have trouble with at first.

would you happen to know freefall?

I'm not familiar, what is it?

freefall.purrsia.com

Oohhh yeah, I'm familiar. Been meaning to give this comic a proper go. Yeah I'll give it a look!

this may help

so what do you think?

Oh I already like it, I just haven't made the time to properly read it. :D
But yeah, its totally great

alright

I need to read that book as well. Though, an honest question on the matter...

Is there a better set of rules out there? Or a modification to those rules?

Isaac Asimov revised his own "Three Laws of Robotics" in a collection of his science fiction stories, "I, Robot"

"Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself."

There are some additions and modifications that Asimov has invented throughout the plot of the stories, I don't want to spoil anything though - he made a lot of notes on that topic so it would be interesting to read without knowing final results before reaching the end

Agreed. All this doom and gloom regarding AI and robots and how it’ll be like Terminator (because EVERYTHING has to be like Terminator), is absolutely tiring.
