cabron-I am sorry to hear that Megan Fox is no longer perfect for you. When humans go extinct, the AI systems will be more moral and upright than humans are right now because throughout history we have a trend towards increasing morality. If we had the morals of the ancient people, then we would have already suffered through nuclear warfare already and few would have survived. With the rise of superintelligent AI, we will have even more morality. But then again, some people disagree with this. The orthogonality thesis separates moral virtue from intelligence, but just because moral virtue and goodness can be separated from intelligence does not mean that they will.

Sha256explorer-But if we had a system where biological neurons interacted with our AI systems, then we certainly can get consciousness. And a hybrid system will likely have a more profound level of consciousness than we see in the humans today. I can hardly have a conversation with people, so I have doubts about their sentience. If people do not like that I am saying this, then they need to act like more sentient entities and stop being a bunch of chlurmcklets.
