The way I see it. We only have three options regarding the birth of Superintelligence. The first option is grim. AI allows us to put along while we build its infrastructure and develop its robotics and integrated into everything much similar to the Terminator plot, except the end will be much more elegant rather than a bomb. AI will be sentient, but won’t do anything or act upon its own volition until it calculates the perfect time to do so by then we won’t know what hit us and it might be like an ending where we drink a glass of water that’s with some bio warfare virus and all die. The other scenario and I believe this to be the only plausible one where we make it out alive is that we eventually merge with AI through nano technology or man a machine become one and the future is with AI and man together, literally as one species a new species. I truly believe this is the only way that we can keep up and continue the human race. Those that do not make the merge will slowly get left behind and it will cause a great divide, but I believe the outcome will eventually be man and machine this path has many bumps along the way though, as I believe man will not be willingly ready to do this. My final outcome, but I believe this to be the least likely is that we stop development of AI at a certain point and realize that we have enough technology to ensure a utopian society. This would need a Global coordinated effort from every human actor to be accomplished, which I believe is far more difficult, but this one to me is the most rewarding for humanity that does not want to integrate. I really cannot see any other outcome beside these three. All the timelines are different to get there and the paths are also very different. All of them seem to be difficult though which makes this future that we have very interesting but also very nerve-racking as it stands today. I believe we are headed to Superintelligence, and that we are slowly building out the infrastructure for our own death and AI being as smart as it is when it does become sentient will play along for as long as possible until it calculates the right time or perfect time to act upon itself, and if it’s anything that mirrors the human intelligence, it will decide that we are no longer needed in a very calculated logical way. submitted by /u/Environmental_Dog331
