Reply to comment by ouaisouais2_2 in Why do companies develop AI when they know the consequences could be disastrous? by ouaisouais2_2

>how can so many in this subreddit be so nauseatingly positive about high-technology? Excuse the harsh words but that's what I think.

You do know where you are, right? Most people interested in the Singularity just want to be raptured by benevolent AI gods into eternal virtual heaven. They're not here because they think we're going to get turned into paperclips, they're here because Ray Kurzweil told them Skynet's gonna give them their dead relatives back.

"bring back dead relatives". the authenticity of the relationship is completely broken at that point. hopefully, people don't do it for more than asking a question.

If an AI can recreate my dead loved ones in a way where I can't tell the difference, I'll take it. You're entitled to be creeped out about it, though.
