RE: Robots Will Kill Us: AI and Human Extinction
Yes, in a winner taker all market there would be planned specialization as you are talking about.
To comment on your idea with providing why/meaning to AI, AI wouldn't need any why/meaning assuming it has built in values. By values, I mean a reason behind action. If an AI is acting without us forcing it to act, it must have a goal and values to create that goal. So why would an AI depend on us for meaning?
It is true, a chain of sub-goals pretty cleanly connects how to why and the difference is primarily that why resides higher up the goal chain in an area where it is customary to use words like intent and identity. Consciousness is not well understood or defined. I was inarticulately suggesting that the value we may represent to the AI will likely originate from some aspect of consciousness. Most of the other things we have to offer appear like they will rapidly be insignificant.
Good point. It is the only thing that AI may not have.
Awesome discussion!
