AI?

[Tastidian]

What if this advance AI sees humans as inferior and sends the new robot military out to kill us all. Since this is and advance AI its quite possible it will materialize the earth into nothing but a file on its drives.

That's what I was about to post!!!! Before I got to this page and saw that you had already posted it. Really. What if the AI had decided that the human population meant nothing to the good of the country/nation? I agree with Panzer.

[The Holy namelesskitty]

if it was as advanced as all that it would know that humans are an integral part of civilization, because to create so many AIs would cause a robot vs robot war which could end all life and also the AI.

[bugfartboy]

Who says it was that advanced?

[The Holy namelesskitty]

the creator of this thread did.

[bugfartboy]

Good point. Still. What if the AI developed "emotions" and clouded it's databanks or something?

[The Holy namelesskitty]

That makes sense, but maybe it wrote off emotions as unnecessary.

[bugfartboy]

But what if it didn't?

Then, should this robotical AI apocolypse is to take place, we're all doomed.

[bugfartboy]

Haha. Hopefully the AI feels the need for a human general and picks me for my devilishly good looks, charming intellect, tactical strategy and strong loyalty. With a simple implant in my skull I will become like a slave from the Telepath world.

... Or, the AI could spare the human race if we prove to them that we do a better job than machines at maintenance?

[bugfartboy]

If they decide to keep us, maybe they'll make it like in "The Matrix". Kinda Freaky but simultainiously cool.

[algebra15]

The matrix's base idea is rather stupid. Humans do produce a lot of energy, but you get more by just BURNING food.

[The Holy namelesskitty]

Algebra's right, the AI would be stupid to do that, because burning a human creates more energy than they create in a lifetime, also, that would be a waste of slaves.

[bugfartboy]

So. What if the AI got old and rusty but the robots didn't know how to help it?
