I know that during this one year e.g. some people changed their attitude towards the answer to the question: “Will machines completely replace all human beings?”.
I will try. Kirk and crew came up against a machine that that was roughly the shape of a cone that destroyed planets etc. It mostly matched your description, they in other shows met other machines that reproduced, were sentient, some bad some good. You would have to go through the books or the show’s series to get real details.
The old scifi writers covered AIs to a great degree, some ludicrous, some frighteningly believable, most inbetween.
I have over 5,000 books in my library, about 1500 are scifis. No details from me hon, I have the books in my head but only just.
They are an AI which thinks organic life-forms are worthless, and hence turns them into drones [its robot like operatives]. They also have a hive-mind and act as a collective to find the meaning of existence, or perfection whatever that is.
something like what you have presented in your arguments perhaps.
yeah, but what if Al himself will turn out to be an organic life form derivative? In the miniaturization of microchips there is/was talk of using bio-molecular material to program. Wouldn't that change Al's outlook?
There were no Borg in the original Star Trek series. An episode was altered to produce that youtube video( Kirk versus Borg). This is what was originally broadcast: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corbomite_Maneuver
Especially interesting is that one can notice the “philosophy” behind the fact that in the film many people are “somehow” busy, because in the 1960’s most people thought that most people are needed. But this “philosophy” has been changing since the end of the 1960’s.
