The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.
We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.
And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.
Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.
No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica
Caprica had one of the best scores in all of television. For those who don’t know, it was done by Bear McCreary, who also did BSG and went on to score God of War [2016] and GoW: Ragnarok.
Spoiler alerts, please.
It's not that much of a spoiler, but I suppose that people who haven't seen it might not know that.
I was just trying to be funny.
Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.
This is a way better perspective
Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn't quite the same
It will be for the AI horde.
Interesting take.
I was of course thinking along the lines of how religion is used to explain the existence of humanity. Which is of course different than explaining how parents create a child, humans seem to have a pretty good grasp on how that works.
ALL HAIL CHIMP!
