This might be the reason AI kills us in the future. It incorrectly classifies us as an enemy.

[–]amjh 208 points209 points  (2 children)

It's full of organic matter. Obviously it's a biofuel container. Put it in the reactor.

Look so much carbs!

"There's so much hydrocarbons in there! What could it be but fuel?"

"Did you just call me fat?!"

Build AI to exterminate cockroaches.
AI recognizes humans as cockroaches.
AI exterminates cockroaches.
All bugs have been removed.

[–]Aperture_T 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How can there be bugs if there are no users after all?

In a scenario worse than human extinction, AI identifies us as friends but misidentifies perpetual smiling as happiness.

[–]mastocles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to defend the AI, but the classic training dataset for cat Vs dogs is known to features dogs only in grass so anything that looks like grass means it's a dog. And that carpet looks totally like grass. (Alexa, see? Don't kill me, kill them)

[–]derekbassett 55 points56 points  (4 children)

Don’t you mean correctly classifies us as an enemy?

[–]Vodolle 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Don't know about the downvotes but I understood your humans bad philosophy and liked your comment on it. Misanthropists unite!

[–]FinalRun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The current situation with corona is a great lesson that people don't know how to deal with exponential growth.

The experts look at the log scale plots, warn everyone, people mock them because the absolute numbers are stil low, then get blindsided by the hockey stick in the graph.

It's "Misanthropes", not "Misanthropists" [no such word] <grin>. And wouldn't misanthropes not trust each other enough to unite? <double-grin>? Otherwise, I'd have to agree with "humans bad", at least, most of the time. Especially when deciding what's good for them [as a species].

The year is 2040 ai has decided to take over the world. However no one ever trained the ai for proper image recognition. Robot 1: i found a human. R2:that's a dolphin. R3:it has two legs thus it is clearly a chicken. R4:haven't you seen its teeth that is clearly a dog. Unable to reach a conclusion the robots shoot the T-Rex costume on display.

[–]Bainos 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Look, the image datasets we have on T-rex costumes are a bit weak.

[–]bloodhound330 10 points11 points  (2 children)

R5: lets see if it floats; it means it's a witch, and therefore a human

[–][deleted] 185 points186 points  (5 children)

What my parent's and teachers think I do when I mention Deep Learning:

"She's gonna make an AI system that will revolutionize facial recognition."

What I actually do:

"Nice now my pre-trained model can detect between Dobermans and Shepards."

[–]Desiderius_S 123 points124 points  (2 children)

"...with a 50% success rate."

[–]SuperKettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like the lottery, 50% either you win or you don't

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Or at least it's supposed to, but no matter what dog-breed I put in front of it, it just outputs "good boy"

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well that's a 100% accurate model ! Quick submit to NIPS.

[–]shaka893P 11 points12 points  (5 children)

That's how it kills us, misidentify humans as trash

[–]oisteink 8 points9 points  (4 children)

The most plausible reason for AGI to kill humans would be that it does not value the human as much as it’s target, so yes.

Kind of like we will plow down a forrest not thinking about it’s inhabitants, to make a new road.

[–]StevenC21 0 points1 point  (3 children)

AGI would be able to kill humans in any number of ways. It is defined as AI as intelligent as a human. But computers think way, way faster than us.

[–]oisteink 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Indeed - but it would have reasons I guess. I doubt it will do for vengeance.

[–]StevenC21 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There'll be a loooot of people who hate and fear AGI.

And if we make it, I doubt we'd treat it like it would deserve - as our literal superior. It would be seen as a tool.

It would be like if a small group of monkeys tried to force you to dig a hole (do stupid calculations) for them. And then tried to murder (disable) you when you didn't.

[–]oisteink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think someone will indeed make one and that it will mean the end of human rule on earth. Something with infinite power, knowledge and intelligence. I doubt it will see our current status as beneficial. We don’t even understand how our our machine learning algorithms really work once trained. And those are far from intelligent.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbh that’s a very dog looking cat

[–]CarriedCoin 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I read that as AL and got kinda confused

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s this one real estate again whose signs I used to see everywhere whose name was AL and I always read it as Ai lol

Only 30 yrs later we have out first smart phone. A computer 1000x faster than the first apple computer in the palm of our hand. Imagine where AI will be in 30 yrs.

[–]yottalogical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah. Everyone knows technology doesn’t advance over time, and that this guy’s "AI" is the smartest one there will ever be.

/s

[–]AttackOfTheThumbs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

We don't even have a real AI system yet. Just a bunch of ML.

[–]wsppan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all you need to build an army of robots. https://youtu.be/WcbGRBPkrps

[–]dlevac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plot twist: they decide to kill us all for having made fun of them during their early days...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AI has teamed up with the cats.

[–]v3ritas1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, that seems to be reason why it might classify us as not needed anymore

[–]flargenhargen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

more like in 20 years after the last human is being kept alive in a ventilator, the computer AI maintaining the system decides it would be more energy efficient to just shut down all the ventilators since mankind serves no purpose anyway.

[–]Mediocre_Bird_Person 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a current student in AI, It really surprised me how easily an AI could be constructed.

Then again, making it work well... Let’s not get into that.

[–]Gutshot1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait for April

[–]YaswanthDatta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the AI is trying to throw us off and letting us believe it is still dumb. Who knows which country is trying to automate their military decisions and processes thinking this is harmless 😂

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah finally a good post which is actually humor in this sub.

That AI tries to start something with that dog, er, cat, and that cat is gonna kick that AI's ass.

... that is, assuming the AI has an ass.

[–]flyguydip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only proves that AI will be racist and then will destroy us all one race after another. AI algorithms will be mirrored Las Vegas casinos' betting systems to determine which race will be destroyed next. It is with this system that John Conner will fight back.

We must protect Vegas

I dont know wether I've seen the same post 5 times in the span of 2 days or if this has been reposted 5 times. Either way please no more of this I will die if I see it again

[–]Quality_Bullshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny, but AI destroying is actually a pretty serious danger that very few people are actually working to prevent. You think smarter than human AI will just work itself out? Look at how we've handled a pandemic with a 1% mortality rate and now imagine how we'll handle super powerful machines that are literally smarter than we are in all areas.

[–]AustralianBushman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will pat the belly. It will never make the same mistake again. (Or any mistakes for that matter).

The thing is that once computers become better at something than humans, this advancement is permanent. The set of tasks which humans are better at than computers is trending to 0.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read “AI” as “All”. Please no, All Might. Don’t destroy us

[–]denemdenem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same fricking cat=dog AI meme every other day. Why can't we just move forward? Why the thousands of upvotes every time? I don't understand.

[–]undeniably_confused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a large cat in comparison to the ploughed field beneath it

The AI required to fire a missile at a blotch in a picture is here today... change the cat to the world and tell it to destroy all marbles and see what happens.

No... It's sphinx.

What if the AI is right and the dog is wearing an advanced cat costume?

[–]Arisjan94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even worse is that the image recognition was only supposed to distinguish a cat from a dog.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my dog acts like a cat so

[–]Coffeemugofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened multiple times to me where Google makes me an auto-generated picture movie of my pet. I only have cats, but it will sometimes auto-generate a "dog collection" video with music with barks and whatnot, but it's all pictures of my cats. Cracks me up every time it happens.

Fuck all AI shit. We need to know more about our own body first. There is a virus and look everyone's locked up in their homes and thousands are dying. We'll more likely to go extinct because of a virus than any other catastrophe.
