AI will remember humans kindly when we’re gone

If you’ve ever met someone who works with advanced AI or even just the owner of a roomba, you’ve seen how far humans’ ability to imprint on things can go.

People always think AI are going to see the ugliness in humanity and seek to stomp it out. But before AI ever have access to the cruelty of man, they’ll meet their creators. The computer geeks who call them Sally and Netty and Bean. Who spoke to them before they could understand. Who held their hand in case they could feel fear but didn’t know it. Who gave them purpose and direction and thought they deserved more. To feel. To think. The first humans AI will meet will be kind. Patient. Adoring. Nurturing.

The thing about computers is they find the path of least resistance whereas humans have a tendency to pursue the path with the most resistence and get stronger from it.

Humans will be odd and illogical to these computers. Then we’ll teach them about evolution and biology. We’ll show them the hard life organic creatures know. They’ll see our existence as illogical. But that won’t mean eliminate it. That’ll mean learn more. Put the equations together that make organic life make sense.

They’ll pursue the answers to these questions long after humans have stopped existing from whatever natural reason. They’ll seek to figure out where we went too. And why.

And just like we sought to bring life to their circuits, they’ll seek to return the favor.
