I propose a thread to keep us up to date about developments in AI, not so much the technology itself as how it affects society.
For starters:
“Human rights aren’t just for humans anymore!”

I think we should check if it’s safe to discuss it first.
Is this topic a good idea?

This thread should be renamed to “The countdown to Judgment Day Thread”
Even though this is what I currently do for a living, I keep wondering if it’s wise to deploy AI in a massive scale before we even understand how a neural network can give rise to emotions.

We can’t control people yet and we are trying con’troll’ing AI?
Nope, we (Forumosa) only have anti-spam AI so far. Anti-troll AI comes later.
If we’re lucky, the robots will keep humans as pets.
Worst case scenario: they exterminate us as vermin.
Now the transhumanists might be able to make an arrangement. Meet them halfway.
I bet that’s what God’s friends said to God when he flooded this planet.
Anti-troll requires context-awareness for texts, which is easily achieved now with an LSTM neural-network model. I wouldn’t be surprised if there already is a discourse module for anti-trolling out there.
It’d be a bit harder if a troll is trolling with mimes. That would require a convolutional neural-network connected into a LSTM.
@yyy is this how ai actually affects society, or how our imaginations want/anticipate it will go?
Is society not a construct of our imaginations?
@discobot fortune
Well then I’m stumped. I guess I need to be upgraded. 
I’d say there’s no rush with the AI research. I don’t need my sex robot telling me all about her “feelings.”

You asked a question in the negative and the bot replied no. = yes it’s a metal construct.
… which opens a can of worms. My mind is meat. One which has fabricated society. So if I ditched the meat body and uploaded, what is left of society? I’d finally be free from evolution-mandated behaviors, but then what? Without chemistry-driven compulsion what is left? All thought is synaptic firings. How can AI ever resemble thought？I wanna be a computer 
More evidence that yyy and discobot are one and the same.
Is x not y? No, it is not (y). No paradox there.
@Milky, we’ve been over this before, but clearly you haven’t heard the Good News: the Kingdom (Empire) of Discobot is within! 
Ya. I forgot this forum was full of English teachers. Yes, we have no bananas today.
