I agree that it’s narratively exciting; I worry that it makes the story counterproductive in its current form (I.e. computer people thinking “computers don’t think like that, so this is irrelevant)
Either it’s a broadly accurate portrayal of its reasons for action or it isn’t, just because people find hard sci-fi weird doesn’t mean you should make it into a fantasy. Don’t dilute art for people who don’t get it.
I’m a bit confused-I thought that this was what I was trying to say. I don’t think this is a broadly accurate portray of reasons for action as discussed elsewhere in the story, see great-grandparent for why. Separately, I think it’s a really bad idea to be implicitly tying harm done by AI (hard sci-fi) to a prerequisite of anthropomorphized consciousness (fantasy). Maybe we agree, and are miscommunication?
Yeah, my bad, I didn’t read your initial review properly (I saw John’s comment in Recent Discussion and made some fast inferences about what you originally said). Sorry about that! Thx for the review :)
