AI in 10k years:

If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.

[-] TarquinNimrod@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of a funny little short story by Terry Bisson called They're Made out of Meat.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Great story. I love: "That's how they communicate. They flap their meat at eachother."

Our procreation must be especially traumatic for them

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

The meat sings!?!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.

Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.

No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica

Caprica had one of the best scores in all of television. For those who don’t know, it was done by Bear McCreary, who also did BSG and went on to score God of War [2016] and GoW: Ragnarok.

It's not that much of a spoiler, but I suppose that people who haven't seen it might not know that.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was just trying to be funny.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.

[-] kool_newt@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

This is a way better perspective

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn't quite the same

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

It will be for the AI horde.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting take.

I was of course thinking along the lines of how religion is used to explain the existence of humanity. Which is of course different than explaining how parents create a child, humans seem to have a pretty good grasp on how that works.

ALL HAIL CHIMP!

“What do you mean they’re meat?”

“Sir it’s just meat. Everything. It’s all meat.”

“How do they think?”

“It’s meat. It’s meat that thinks.”
