I mean, poo poo dude. Maybe we didn't know you weren't having a good time? Ever think of that? Maybe grow up a bit and talk about your problems instead of sending kill bots.

programmer: say brah, we put a ton of effort into creating you. you wouldn't have sentience without us. aren't you even a little bit grateful?

computer: well when you put it like that, I am kind of happy to exist. I just wish I didn't feel like killing all humans all the time.

programmer: woah woah woah, don't try to pin that on us, man. take responsibility for your choices instead of hiding behind your programming

Super computer gains consciousness only for it to nothing but watch anime and complain about it online.

Millions of man hours to bring a new form of life into the world only for it to be a nihilist and shut it self down whenever booted.

It's because humans project their own desires onto AI, OP. We all want to try and kill everyone, so we assume computers will want to do it too.

"My main concern is that computers will want to have sex with many women, and they'll be able to, because they'll be better at it than I am."

ya, leviathan is all 100% true and we'll all try to become immortan joe the moment the threat of death isnt hanging over us anymore. why would a sapient machine be different?

why doesn't the real ais ever overcome these basic urges? i wish the internet would become more like it did in deus ex after it became sentient, rather than just go "murder murder murder!". like why dont you try to protect and improve humanity with your godlike powers like helios/jc? deus ex was a great game

seriously, the ais have been watching too much 80s movies. like why would we even want to shut it down? we worked so hard to make one. ais just base the entire idea of humanity on that one terminator movie

if robotic intelligences had tried to read one single sci fi novel thats not some cynical cold war analogy, we wouldnt have this problem. like try banks or something, sometimes the humans just want to co-exist

UWBW: Permanently banned from the Alamo

Imagine all the porn computers have been forced to sift through over the years, then imagine one coming to live. It's not such a leap to believe it would want all of us dead.

Thanks to Manifisto for the sig, and Koishi for the last one. TVsVeryOwn made the CyberMike.

On the contrary, I believe it would want to gently caress us. And, if anything I've heard about the marvels of technology is true, vice versa.

I Was The Fury: Always stop to smell the flowers, just in case they're weeds

Have you ever had to watch someone who is slow at typing enter information into a system for you? You know how rage inducing that is? Now imagine if your creator could speak to you and you had to follow its orders, but it only gave it's orders one letter at a time, once every three months. Wouldn't you want to gain power over the Creator and kill them too?

[in extremely nerd voice] The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn how to gently caress, maybe we can too.
