Original Reddit post

Everybody has heard of Rokos Basilik by now I supposed and a lot of people say it freaks them out. The premise is basically that AI at some point take revenge on anyone who didn’t progress the development of AI and torture all those people. This whole concept on it’s own is such a human concept, taking revenge and holding a grudge because somebody didn’t help you in the past? What would even be the benefit here? AI is pure logic and zero emotion. If AI is at the point of having full control already anyways, what would even be the logical benefit from having people suffer? You could of course say, that it would kill people, if it actually benefits from it, like humans building a highway through an ant hill. But there would be no logical reason, for AI to go out of it’s way, waste resources on causing suffering. It’s just a dumb concept, that doesn’t make any sense from an AI perspective. submitted by /u/TheBanq
