Don't worry, be nice

Just be nice...      (Public Domain)

According to Sophia, an enhanced version of Frankenstein’s creation, artificial intelligence should pose no threat to humans.  If they’re nice to her, she’ll be nice to them.

Sophia isn’t saying exactly what constitutes “nice.”  Would “nice” entail doing her bidding?  Would that entail being her slave?  For years, humans have relied upon machines to do their dirty work.  Will machine-made tables now be turned?

Sophia even took a jab at Elon Musk, who has warned against AI for years.  On the metallic heels of that, she demanded:  Treat me as a smart input output system.

Because she had also dissed Hollywood films, Musk sarcastically replied:  Just feed it The Godfather movies as input.  What’s the worst that could happen?  According to Musk’s ominous warnings, we might regretfully find out.
