This is not a question about if you think it is possible, or not.
This is a question about your own will and desires. If there was a vote and you had a ballot in your hand, what will you vote? Do you want Artificial Intelligence to exist, do you not, maybe do you not care?
Here I define Artificial Intelligence as something created by humans that is capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it’s self aware and have consciousness. All that with the processing power of computers behind it.
As for the important question that would arise of “Who is creating this AI?”, I’m not that focused on the first AI created, as it’s supposed that with time multiple AI will be created by multiple entities. The question would be if you want this process to start or not.

No, at least not during this period. If it was invented right now, or is guaranteed to be only controlled by oligarchs and ruin life of everyone else.
10 or more years ago I would have said yes. But in this current version of capitalism, any powerful new technology will be used to benefit the very rich only, at the expense of the rest of us. It will hurt us more than help us at this moment.
Nice try, basilisk.
Not nessessarilly relevant to the question, but i personally would call such a thing capable of rationnal thinking “digital conciousness” to differentiate it from the AI we use now.
I don’t want to see this type of thing coming because i know people will find out how to use it in horrible ways.
Honestly, i don’t even see the interest for companies to create such a thing, because our emotions and consciousness are the things that make us imperfect, and so, human.
They just want a performant and perfect thing.
(But yes if it is open source, for… making friends)
With the current power structures that exist in global society hell to the no, if it could be used to reduce or eliminate the need for human labor 100% yes.
Not gonna lie, I use it in development, but can I do my job without it? Yes
So my answer is “no”
This question is not referring to LLMs
Respectfully, you’ve asked the wrong question. The process to create AI started decades ago (arguably, longer).
…capable of rational thinking, that is creative, that it’s self aware and have consciousness.
As you’ve described it, consider how this is any different than human procreation.
The answer is the ability for a ‘computer’ to have instantaneous access and ability to process the world’s information.
Assuming a sentient “cyber” AI is inevitable and you’re wondering about our “own will and desires”, the question should be, who do you think should create the rules for AI to ensure it’s making the right choices today and beyond the time of our species.
Or, to put it another way, who gets to be God and Moses?
Seems pedantic. You know what they are asking!
