Mine is that in Star Trek, at least all the computers advanced enough to be used on a starship are actually sentient. At some point you have enough self aware hologram programs and rogue AIs that you should start to wonder if they’re actually anomalous.
My take is that a true AI would be so far ahead of the humans that it wouldn't want to slow down enough to interact with them. The AI would treat the humans the way we treat intestinal bacteria; we want them healthy and thriving, but don't really care much about them day to day.
This pretty much happens in Lower Decks
I'd like to take credit, but I got the idea from Joe Haldeman's book "Buying Time."
Fun read, look it up.
Ooh haven't read that. I really like forever war
enjoy
Honestly, I avoid conversations that matter because I expect most people around me aren't on the level to contribute. AGI will certainly not give two shits.
This was somewhat of a plot point in a season of Discovery.
I would suggest reading some Ian Banks.
