I find it amusing that people think human-made things are “unnatural” but humans are natural. How can anything be unnatural, if it is the product of people creating things according to their natures? I think AI is a natural extension of humanity’s nature. Of course we would try to create a machine to be like us. AI is the product of all of human knowledge and creative activity up till now — it’s just as “natural” as having a baby, it’s just that humanity itself is having the baby. When people assert that AI will not be able to do certain things, I feel like it’s looking at a baby and saying it won’t be able to run because it can’t even walk. We don’t know what AI will become yet, it was just born.
AI is natural because humans are natural
