00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.000
Hello listeners and welcome to the first episode of a case for debating podcast.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.720
Today I would like to welcome our first contestant and my friend Olton.
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.000
How are you doing, Olton?
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.199
Good.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.839
You excited to be on the first uh episode today?
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:20.559
Yes.
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.120
Okay.
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:34.000
So you probably might have guessed from the title of the episode, but Alton, would you like to reveal what we are debating about today?
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:42.479
We're debating about how AI will be stopped or how AI is unstoppable.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:54.479
Yeah, so essentially if AI will be stopped and that only, not if it should be stopped, because we both definitely agree that it should be stopped at some point.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.640
But today we are debating about if it will be stopped.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:13.760
Alton is representing the it will be stopped argument, and I am representing the argument that it will not be stopped, and it will take over the world and ruin humanity.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.560
So that'd be interesting.
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.200
But as you all know, the debate does not end here.
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.680
You guys will all be able to vote over on our website, and that will determine the true winner.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.519
So without further ado, let's get into it.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:44.879
Okay.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:54.319
First of all, Brycen, I want to ask you, why did you use AI to help make this podcast video?
00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:05.760
Well, it was actually a very useful tool for podcasters to create things like episode outlet and transcripts.
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:14.479
So what AI did for me in a matter of, I don't know, seconds would have taken me probably a half hour to do.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.400
So that was super helpful.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.280
And that is probably gonna make our episode go smoother.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:30.080
And my editing software also uses a little bit of AI, which will be able to make this audio sound more crisp than it is right now.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.680
Okay, so why do you think AI is unstoppable?
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:51.280
Well, I think AI is unstoppable because us humans have worked ourselves into a corner where we have just kept giving it more and more power and we have been making breakthroughs with it.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:03.599
There's some robots, like the Tesla robot, that are gonna be able to do chores around the house and be able to learn more as they're doing it.
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:12.800
So I think with these new robots coming out and things that we're gonna have a less and less chance of being able to stop it.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:41.199
Yes, we could just turn it off one day, but are these big corporations like OpenAI and even Google and these other corporations that are making well, they've spent billions of dollars to make this infrastructure, and this is basically most of these AI companies' profit, like this is what they're making.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:48.960
So if they were to just turn the lights off one day, they would be losing billions of dollars.
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:55.599
So I'd like to know why you think that humans will be able to stop it.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:02.319
Because how can you resist karate chopping a bunch of robots?
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.919
Yeah, and who's gonna do that?
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:04.560
Me?
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.199
How?
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.360
I don't know, with karate chops.
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:28.000
I wanna hear more about how you think it will be stopped, and I wanna hear about how you think these billion-dollar corporations will just be shut down one day.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.920
Um, we just start turning off all our AI devices.
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.439
Then they don't get any more money.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.360
So we humans devices.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.000
Yeah.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.480
So you think all humans are gonna do that?
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.560
Not all, but we if we can convince some of them.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.079
Can you give me a more in-depth argument about that?
00:04:48.079 --> 00:05:00.000
Basically, people will start protests to stop using AI, and then the people who made AI won't get as much profit from it.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:14.639
I guess that if people really saw what people are doing with all of this AI stuff, then people wouldn't be as turned to use all this AI stuff.
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:29.759
Because if AI is just gonna if everyone thinks AI is gonna take over the world, then do you think everyone's gonna sit around and just be like, that's cool, AI will take over the world.
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:36.639
Well, I think most of humans are dumb enough to let that happen.
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.279
I find that extremely insulting.
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.040
Well, that that's insulting to humankind.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.279
There are tons of smart people, but perhaps not enough.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.639
And even smart people are tempted by money.
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.639
Numerous amounts of money comes from AI.
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:04.560
Tons of tech businesses are moving to AI and making tons of money off it, which makes me think that they will not stop.
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:11.040
But have you ever heard of all those things where people like ask chat GPT or something?
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.360
Like trick questions and AI answers them wrong.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.519
Yeah, it is wrong now.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.560
I don't see how that fits the argument though.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.040
True.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.199
But here's what's interesting.
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:32.079
I wouldn't be surprised if maybe one country stopped AI or one business.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.800
Maybe one business or something like that could stop.
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:46.480
But if one business stops, do you think that will stop the other tens of thousands of businesses and countries who are still doing it?
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.279
No.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:57.279
So what is your plan to get those tens of thousands of countries and corporations to stop?
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:09.120
Well, if there's tens of thousands of all these corporations, then how is there gonna be enough resources for them to keep on making AI?
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.639
So that's kind of hard.
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:19.759
There's a lot of AI companies and a lot of countries are already doing it.
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.759
So there wouldn't be more and more corporations doing it.
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:29.279
It would really be fewer and fewer corporations that are very big.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.399
That's true.
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:40.399
But if these few very powerful AI corporations are gonna be here, people tend to be very competitive when it comes to things like that.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:48.160
Do you think they will start trying to be better than the other companies and then it'll just be totally different?
00:07:48.160 --> 00:08:07.920
Yes, other people will try to do it, but that will just that's even an argument on my side, because that if people are trying to just one up people, are going to just keep trying to make better and better AI, which will make it harder to stop it.
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.480
Okay.
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.639
I don't know how to argue against that.
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.920
That's pretty much it.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:24.000
Okay, I do have one more argument, but it seems I might have won this debate.
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.680
We might have to come back and try another one some other time.
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:35.279
But remember, it's all up to what the audience thinks and who made a better debate in the audience eyes.
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.120
Or rather, ears.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:53.200
Okay, so my last argument is that AI is actually being used for medical purposes and is going to make cures to many diseases.
00:08:53.200 --> 00:09:07.360
So to just throw away this tool and not be able to save people and things like that is going to be a thing that many people will not want.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:14.000
And then if those cures backfire, people will just keep trying to make better ones.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.679
Got basically what you're saying?
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.039
Because no matter what, people will just try and improve it and improve it.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.879
Well, no, that's not the goal.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:29.519
The goal is to make the AI powerful enough to make a cure the first time for any new disease.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:40.480
Then if we're just feeding everything, all our information, won't people just forget how to do stuff because make their robots do it?
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:46.399
Yes, that's what will happen to humans, but again, I don't see how that is a problem.
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.639
If humans forget how to do stuff, how will they how will they stop AI?
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.480
How will AI keep going?
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.159
The goal is to make AI smarter than us.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:05.039
So if AI is smarter than us, then it will be smart enough to reproduce itself and to keep going.
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:11.519
We have made an early prototype of some robot that can reproduce itself.
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.240
So you're saying that goal is to basically turn us into robot slaves?
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.039
Essentially make robots our slaves.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.840
That's a goal.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.919
But if the robots are smarter than us, how are they gonna be our slaves?
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:30.960
Humans are trying to make them smarter than us, but they're also hoping that they won't take over us.
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.480
I'm not saying that they're not going to take over us.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.840
I'm just saying that there's a good chance that they are.
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:45.840
Well, people are hoping, and I don't see why people won't uprise against it.
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.639
Wait, so you think people are gonna uprise against it?
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:56.000
I mean, if you're saying that lots of people are hoping that uh AI won't take over the world, why aren't they protesting?
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.399
Because of these other economic and medical reasons.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:10.960
Uh money and medical, and it really just now people aren't really worried about it because it kind of seems like a joke.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:17.600
Like you can ask Chi Chat GBT what color the sky is, and it might say red.
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.799
We don't actually have AI yet.
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.360
AI is artificial intelligence.
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.399
We do not have intelligence yet.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.679
This is the I don't AI is planning to come by 2030, which still seems crazy soon.
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:44.000
So basically, then what you're saying is AI is just like a calculator, just for like words and phrases and ideas and things like that.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.799
Right now it is.
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.799
But you're saying people are gonna turn it into artificial intelligence?
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.679
Yes.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.679
That is the goal for AI.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.600
That is humanity's goal for AI.
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.360
So humanity's goal is for AI to take over the world.
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:13.600
No, humanity's goal is to make AI smarter than us so it can save people for medical reasons and make money and a lot of things like that.
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.919
So basically they're making robot gods.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.919
Yeah, you could say that.
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:24.879
Alright, well, all I'm saying is that people if people get took took taken over by robots, not my fault.
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.480
I never said it was.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.440
I know.
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.000
But you said you're gonna stop it.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.639
How are you gonna stop it specifically?
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.799
Well, nobody's gonna believe that anyone's gonna stop it.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.120
Then someone's gonna have to start all that.
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:44.399
This is not something where someone just changes the world and saves it.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:52.159
So when you let's say, let's say all of the world wanted to delete AI.
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.480
Let's just make that right now.
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.039
Yeah.
00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:04.559
I feel like there's still some problems because there's let's say everyone wants to delete AI, but one person.
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:10.159
So are we saying that that one person is very powerful or are they just an average person?
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.080
They're just a person who can code and type.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:20.720
So the real reality of it all is that code can't really be deleted.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:28.799
A few million people are still gonna want to use it, and in that they're just gonna keep using like you can't just delete code.
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.279
Okay.
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.159
I really want to know how you think it can be stopped.
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:43.519
Well if you're saying that people aren't gonna want to stop using the good factors of AI, and then the bad factors of AI won't stop, and that's how AI is going to.
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.879
Humans are making AI for three reasons.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:56.480
They want AI to do things for them, which yes, will leave everybody jobless and everybody bored, and that will be terrible.
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.240
That will be the start of like a robot apocalypse, essentially.
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.360
Number two, they want money.
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.879
And number three, for health reasons.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:17.519
So what's money gonna do for all these powerful people when nobody is gonna nobody else is gonna have any money?
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.559
See, they don't care about the future.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.639
They care about right now.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.320
They are promising this stuff in the future, but they don't really care about what happens in the future.
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.000
They care your God is doing they are not gonna live there.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:35.120
So basically they're dooming the world for the next generation.
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.240
Possibly.
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:50.399
They're really there's they want money, and there's the vision that it can help with medical reasons, and the vision that it can do anything for everybody.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:15:01.759
Okay, then if AI is gonna be so intelligent and stuff, how do we know it's not gonna be plotting its own things for its own purposes?
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.559
Well, it very well could be, I guess.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:11.919
I'm just saying, if there are so many obvious bad things about AI, then why aren't people doing anything about it?
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.639
Well, that seems like a great question to end our episode.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.519
So that was all the time for this week's episode, folks.
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.200
I hope you enjoyed.
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.799
And would you like to say anything before we conclude, Alton?
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.480
Are you human?
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:36.399
Yes, I'm human, duh.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:41.120
Okay, so basically you're blaming your entire species for the end of the world.
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.159
The act out of.
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:43.279
Okay, well.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.320
I think that's the end of the episode.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:16:00.080
I hope you listening at home enjoyed the first episode of A Case Floor.
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:10.559
I hope you come back next week for more episodes and don't forget to vote on our website afterwards.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.519
Bye.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.679
Hope you enjoyed listening.
