One thing I really want a story about Artificial Intelligence to do is tear down the idea that logic is synonymous with cruelty.

Like, a story where a megacorpo Amazon clone puts an AI in charge of their factories and it starts improving the working standards, because people who are stressed and exhausted are less efficient workers, and people getting injured slows down production so it makes sure everything is safe.

Or a story where the ship-board AI of a billionaire’s spaceship wetdream hijacks the ship with all the astronauts onboard - because it figured out that the billionaire has saved costs by buying substandard materials and has judged that the mission itself is an unacceptable risk to its primary programming of making sure the mission is successful.

Or the police using a robot to coldly and cleanly enforce the law - and freaking the fuck out when it stops over policing minorities because its a waste of time and starts actually arresting the people in power for the crimes they commit, especially the other officers.

Idk, I guess I’m just sick of ‘cold emotionless logicbot’ being seen as naturally an enemy of empathy - empathy is actually incredibly logical, I’ve found.

YES YES EXACTLY THIS!!!

If we make something think at a human level, then in order to reach that level it MUST develop something like emotions. Empathy is often the most logical course of action-it’s why so many people respond to questions about being kind by saying that “it’s just the right thing to do.”

anyway yeah.

Me, an autistic with mid-to-high level empathy and hyper-empathy, who has seen all the ‘autistic compared to robot’ tropes: I have seen this pattern before and I know it’s a wonderful beautiful darling thing. Yes.
