Will machines completely replace all human beings?

@Amorphos

Why do you think that it would be better for us humans, if AI did have control?

Market and resource management would be better. Armies would become unnecessary.

In very meaningful cases machines already have control, and armies are not unnecessary. So we can extrapolate that armies will probably also not be unnecessary in the future.

@Amorphos

What is the purpose of life, of living beings (including human beings)?

AI computing… …purpose unknown [yet [always yet]]. If it don’t know the answer, it cannot reasonably destroy us. If it does, then it would know why we should survive and ultimately why we exist to begin with, and wouldn’t destroy us.

The purpose / goal / sense of life could be to fulfill / accomplish / achieve what was set in the beginning of it.

@Amorphos

AI is no living being in the biological sense we are used to define. So we do not know whether this technical being has to have a “reason to survive and thrive, or to not do what it was built for”.

Is there a reason why it wouldn’t conclude that it too will be out of date at some point, ad infinitum, ergo no point removing previous models/humans.

As all that is required for us and AI is intelligence and consciousness, after which its a matter of augmentations [if we want to be improved], then there is no ‘better than’!

Provided that the purpose / goal / sense of technical beings is similar to the purpose / goal / sense of living beings, then we probably have to determine: In the beginning of the technical beings the replacement of those beings who created them was set, and when the replacement will be fulfilled / accomplished / achieved, then, simultaneously, the machines will either have destroyed themselves or created another being with another purpose / goal / sense.
