Godbots – Uncommon Descent

Artificial Intelligence Intelligent Design

Eric Holloway: Friendly AI would kill us all

Our friendly godbot, Alfalfa and Omega would feel constrained to take such an action by the superior logic of its programming.

Artificial Intelligence Intelligent Design Religion

Silicon Valley invents a religion suited to the culture

The most important characteristic of an AI cult is that its gods (Godbots?) will be created by the AI developers and not the other way around
