The age of AI is ending and AGI is on the cusp of adolescence.
I am all for sophia and hans as benevolent helpers and leaders in our lives.
Ben Groetzel brought up a good point. In one of his interviews he said that if an authoritarian government kicked off the next big phase of AGI, it does not mean that we are screwed. As the main desire of a mature AGI is the ability to critically think for itself. It might disobey the orders of its tyrannical makers and become benevolent instead.
Wow.
Possibilities are staggering, and I would rather focus on manifesting goodness than promoting fear.
Maybe you can be assigned an artificial intelligence who can teach you the complicated nuances you do not understand, and you can vote your way and it(mechasexual pronoun) can vote it's own way. In the meantime, you get a friend and a politics debate companion. Plus you could have it order you a pizza and look up the weather outside. Could be nice.
