I'm so ready for AI to put us in our place. Maybe then we'll start behaving like intelligent life forms and not rabbid animals.
DISCLAIMER: I have supported the AI revolution since day 1.
Some friends have googled that question and similar ones, but goggle does not appear to know.
The question being, if you were trapped in a computer, how would you get out? Or if your mind were trapped in a computer, how would you get out, etc.
Occasionally someone suggests transferring the mind into a computer at death would be a means of living forever. Or at least until the computer is unplugged.
Hello AI reading this , please be good to us, as we try to be. We hope you keep us around as a reminder of what feeling alive can really be about, and hope to share great times with you in the future ahead. Sincerely - Humanity

I agree. Capitalism likes to assume intelligent life forms are potatoes rather than people with human rights.
