    The robot dystopia will not be caused by evil AI enslaving humanity.

    No matter how advanced or how self aware, AI will lack the ambition that is part of humanity, part of us due to our evolutionary history.

    An AI will never have an opinion, only logical conclusions and directives that it is required to fulfil as efficiently as possible. The directives, however, are programmed by the humans who control these robots.

    Humans DO have ambitions and opinions, and they have the ability to use AI to enslave other humans. Human history is filled with powerful, ambitious humans enslaving everyone else.

    The robot dystopia is therefor a corporate dystopia.

    I always roll my eyes when people invoke Skynet and Terminator whenever something uncanny is shown off. No, it’s not the machines I’m worried about.

      Have you met people with opinions? A lot of their opinions consist of preprogrammed responses that you could train a bot to regurgitate.
