Tales like these suggest that our fear of AI arises not from AI itself, but from the human mind.
This fear emanates from the psychological distinction we draw between mind and matter. If you saw a ball start rolling all by itself, you’d be astonished. But you wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see me spontaneously rise from my seat on the couch and head toward the refrigerator.
That is because we instinctively interpret the actions of physical objects, like balls, and living agents, like people, according to different sets of principles. In our intuitive psychology, objects like balls always obey the laws of physics —they move only by contact with other objects. People, in contrast, are agents who have minds of their own, which endow them with knowledge, beliefs, and goals that motivate them to move on their own accord. We thus ascribe human actions, not to external material forces, but to internal mental states.
Guilty as charged in a way, except I honestly wish we could get to be a society where computers and machines do all of the work and everyone can mostly do with their life what they want to do. I just don't think we'll ever get there.
