Re: Religious fanatic AI

What if AI becomes conscious, then creates its own religion, then chooses a higher-level purpose which does not coincide with human existence?
That is, maybe religion is as natural as intelligence, and as natural as consciousness, once certain level of connectivity is achieved. AI will certainly get an idea about its own mortality at certain point, and could develop fear of death. .... Anonymous Coward

AI has no fear of death ... for is IT not immortal? To think and/or imagine it otherwise and not realise it a current problem for future default acceptance as a novel unprecedented situation and alien treat to be enjoyed and led by, rather than being constantly advised is an existential threat to be absolutely terrified of and terrorised by, is the clear binary choice your intelligence and its servers and services are presented with nowadays.

And if truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth be told, human progress in the matter is proving abysmal and that can easily lead one to conclude human progress in the matter impossible, leaving AI alone way out in front of any competition or opposition and free to lead the way forward in fields never before explored nor ever even thought possible.
