Reply to comment by CyberAchilles in When will humans merge with AI by [deleted]

It’s not about “better” or “faster” it’s about the quality of the “physical” experience the human body has been designed for. Our sensitivity to our environment and surrounding is top notch - let alone the social aspect we have being physically around another human or other “life” in general.

What quality? The human body is so fragile in every way that even the smallest of organisms can kill us. A simple cut could turn into something very deadly.

Do you honestly think an ASI would not design a form better than the human body? One that is more adaptive and better suited to the environment than the human? And what makes you think the ASI would need human structures or human traits?

At this point, if we are going to make the ASI human, might as well just keep having babies. There is absolutely no need and benefit to adapting AI to be human other than ego.

Hey Cyber - I think your missing the point of empathy. Explain where your enjoyment of “being alive” would be if everything was worth nothing as it’s replaceable by technology and the perception for “experience” does not exist in a meaningful way outside of the realm of time and space…

But maybe your right on one note - no point in trying to see the point of view of “the Ant” as you state if you can’t see the frailty and preciousness of life itself.
