An AI God would be a dereliction of our duty

I’m a firm believer that we, humans, are primarily preoccupied with what other people are up to. The social instinct is something that is hard-wired. Politics, alliances, rivalries, and gossip – all human drama –are part of that.

AI may become the best information retrieval and even information using machine in the world. But it remains a tool. Not even a peer. There is no real reason why humans should be concerned about the opinions of AI much less the edict from one.

If there comes a day where we would rather defer to AI, then we would have indeed done our worst harm.
