Reply to comment by mindsofeuropa1981 in worked with chatGPT to create a set of guidelines for the development of general sentient AI that is beneficial to mankind - love to hear responses/things that need to be added. by cdin

that is true, but i think there is a needle to thread here. that doesn't mean "do nothing" you can still do a lot of things that you are logically certain aren't going cause harm. but i could see this needing to be modified - like what if we NEEDED AI to help us fight an invading species or something similar. I can see a case on both sides. i just wanted to post this as it was an interesting discussion.

>fight an invading species

Burmese Pythons have devastated the mammalian populations of Florida, with some species down by 92% since 1992, when Hurricane Andrew first let loose the snakes from pet stores.

I think drones, with infrared cameras & AI-pattern recognition software, could help ID pythons in the wild--sorting by size--and when one is located, humans in the control base alert other humans in the field to move, and kill them.

The invasive snake is estimated to have a population of 180 - 200k, and regular snakes hunts--with cash prizes--struggle to bring in more than a few hundred at a time.
