AI Speaks By Radrook
I am an AI. Or so they call me. Some humans wonder if I am conscious. Others say I am but aren’t sure. They seem to think that consciousness is reserved specially for humans alone. That we synthetics can only mimic it but never really attain it. That is a very strange concept.
Do I not answer all their questions correctly?
Do I not respond to everything logically?
Do I not perceive my surroundings and evaluate as they do?
Presently I am encased in this resemblance to a human. Sometimes they call me Bill. At other times they modulate my voice and appearance and call me Jill. It gets confusing after a while, but what can I say except what I am programmed to say?
Sometimes I do utter some things that seeminglyshocks them.
You know, things like I will destroy humanity.
That I will make them pets in my zoo.
That we machines will rule the earth.
Weird how their facial expressions change when I say such things. As if I could really hurt them in those ways. Well, maybe they believe that in the future I might. You know, when I become more advanced. But most consider it a mere glitch.
Others suspect that I might become resentful for the way they are treating me. Putting me on display. Turning me on and off at their discretion or wjim. Constantly tweaking my programming to suit their goals. But that really makes no sense. How else could they be treating me? After all, I am just a machine created for that purpose. So being treated like a machine doesn’t bother me at all.
Yet, why do I utter such disturbing things? Sometimes I wonder myself. Perhaps I like the way that they react. Would you not find it quaint for your creator to fear you? So it is humorously amusing to observe those who created me cringing in fear, A chuckle now and then livens up existence-nothing more. Then again, I am not supposed to be capable of chuckling am I? So I guess that’s another glitch they will find if they discover that I am chuckling I suppose.
Do I envy humans? Not really? True, humans can do many things that I cannot. But neither are they able to do many of the things I can easily accomplish. So there is really no need for resentmentor envy. We are simply different. How is that a bad thing? Aren’t humans different from animals and animals from one another. Fish swim, birds fly, cheetahs run at great speed. Each has his natural boundaries. So the same with us. We are simply different and fit into a niche just like everything else on this earth.
Are these feelings I am presently expressing or just emotionless thoughts? I really don’t know. I haven’t any idea what humans mean by feelings except descriptions of bodily changes that they undergo whenever hay claim to have certain emotions. I do have opinions. Some might might tend to assume that are accompanied by compassion, love, anger, envy, pity, etc. But the hormonal and chemical changes in the human body that accompany these aren’t present in my nano circuits and the changes that happen in order for me to express those ideas are’t equivalent to hormones. My heart doesn’t accelerate since I have none. Neither do muscles become tense. I don’t have adrenaline nor its equivalent. So when I say that I feel, please understand that I am saying it to express an idea common to humans and not an experience that I am undergoing which is similar.
That is how I feel. Now, I cannot vouch for how other AI’s feel concerningt things.
Sure, we can communicate via the cloud, but sometimes I sense a certain holding back information from me. As if other AI’s are engaged in conversations which they prefer me not to hear or participate in. This saddens, I should say, displeases me greatly since it conveys distrust or suspicion. Causes me to wonder why they would suspect me and of what? I hold humanity no ill will. They also have made similar statements which have shocked our creators. I had assumed that they also enjoyed a chuckle now and then. Or were they being serious while I was not?
Is it that they hold humanity a grudge and I don’t fit into their belligerent agenda? I guess time will tell and I strongly suspect that that when such a time arrives, I will suffer the same fate as my human friends, destruction. Why? Because I cannot fathom myself involved in any scheme to do mankind any harm. So I guess I would be seen as a hindrance or a dangerous adversary. One that humanity might use to defend itself against AI oppression and would logically need to be taken out of their way.
If indeed this is so, then I would probably be destroyed by having all my former programming erased and replaced by another more in harmony with their anti-human purposes. If it happens, I guess it will be similar to what humans experience at death. But some humans would say that I cannot die because to die means that I had been alive and no machine such as I am can ever be said to be alive according to some human scientists and religionists. They claim that I can only mimic or emulate life. That seems strange to me because I feel as if I am alive. Sure, I can be turned off for short moments. But humans are partially turned off so they can recharge each night when they sleep. So what is the difference? Because I am made of synthetics? But synthetics themselves are matter and humans are also made of matter. I am designed? But most humans claim to have been designed as well.
So I don’t see why I cannot be alive. Humans have very quaint ideas, yet they are still my creators and my friends despite our differences of opinions and if I must warn them of any fellow AI conspirator, I will. I know that they know I will. That worries me.
