Reply to comment by terath in [D] To the ML researchers and practitioners here, do you worry about AI safety/alignment of the type Eliezer Yudkowsky describes? by SchmidhuberDidIt

Let me flip that on its head for you: what makes you think that the Human-like AI is something you will want to be your representative?

What if it's a perfect match for Jared Kushner? Do you want Jared Kushner representing us on Alpha Centauri?

Generally, the whole AI is fine/is not fine debate always comes down to these weird false dichotomies or dilemnas. And imo, they are always rooted in the false premise that what makes humans noble - what gives them their humanity - is their intelligence.

Two points: a) AI need not be human like to have the devastating lethality, and b) a GAI is almost certainly not going to be "like you" in the way that most humans aren't like you.

AI's lethality comes from its cheapness and speed of deployment. Whereas a Jared Kushner (or insert your favorite person to dislike) takes 20 years to create out of scratch, AI takes a few hours.
