When I wrote science fiction, I always tried to dismiss AI from the equation so I wouldn’t be tempted to use it as a deus ex machina. It might be worthwhile to explore the issues, like AGI being a real deus or maleficarus ex machina first and then design a world that throws those into sharp relief rather than trying to be realistic.
Hehe, a FGAI could be easily called a literal Deus Ex Machina… The God me made could be in many ways better and more competent than any God we made up XD This phrase is sure to piss off so many people, I think Í′ll make it the slogan of the pro FAI group. Although I somewhat optimistically anticipate that by 2060 such a thing wouldn’t even be remotely provocative but instead would be smack dab in the middle of the Overton Window and would be about as bold as saying “YES, WE CAN” in 2008...
… I need to read up the Fun Theory sequence before elaborating on how people and the FAI would interact, otherwise I risk getting seriously panned for coming up with messy stuff like this [ITWASABEGINNERSMISTAKEPLEASEDON’TSINKITMORETHANITALREADYISIMBEGGINYA ;_;].
