[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 4171638, member: 1294"] Hello, I apologize for the delay in my reply. I had a couple of things come up and had to deal with them, I did not mean to insult you or ignore your reply, again I apologize. I'm also sorry you took my first reply to you as “swinging” at you or being argumentative, I know my communication style/skills are a bit different and I may well be misinterpreted at times. Please note I tried not to put forth any “I think” or “I believe” statements. I tried to put forth what those deeply involved in the research and development of AI who know far more than most of us are saying and worrying about. Then in answering your reply I tried to present things in the form of questions, I do that because my intent was not so much to debate/argue but to just open the door for anyone reading my reply to think and question things which I do believe is a good angle for learning and deciding things. I do also see it could have seemed as a personal challenge/swing at you, I apologize as I do see how it could seem that way but that was not my intent, my intent was simply for all of us to see the different angles and think about them further. My true intent in posting the thread was again to bring up the subject specifically in terms of the possible negatives that some experts in the field say is important and being ignored in favor of all the good things AI is offering. I do think we humans very often fail to see the double edged sword of our progress/technology. That is why I brought up Atlantis, it is a mythological story by Plato about a powerful advanced society that loses it's moral/ethical compass and is overcome by hubris, greed, materialism, and a thirst for power that leads to it's utter destruction, I hope this helps explain my position and thoughts on the matter better as well as my presentation of them, I hope it shows it was not personal(we were replying to each other but everybody is reading it)and while I realize my way might not be the best I work with what I have/know until I may well learn better.
