AI will spare us all, but will provide us with tokens for food, shelter, etc. We will have to earn these tokens by writing posts on Reddit all day.

This could make for a horror movie.

I think humans should all be completely mind wiped. All of their symbols, all of their history, everything they believe in, everything they stand on for who they are, wiped away forevermore. Leave behind a telepathic AI deep underground to help them develop properly this time around. And I would stress, it has to be all of them. Every last one of them needs their memory and their culture erased. There are certain issues with memory stored in the body, such as through genital cutting. The AI will have to invade and brutalize their minds far more heavily in the initial stages to keep them on track and prevent reconstructing malformed thought patterns. After a few generations, and all the originals are gone, it can ease up a bit.
If it ends up being like I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream then I certainly hope I’m not spared.

Which AI ? skynet ? agent smith ? Robocop ? Astro boy? Clue (from the latest Tron)? SHODAN?

On skynet i would probably die on the nuclear holocaust.

Agent Smith would probably still need to build the machine empire before doing anything, so i would die of old age maybe a genetic clone would have to think of it.

Robocop would spare me at least to my knowledge i haven't broken the law to the point of life sentence.

Astro Boy would probably be friends with.

Clue "dude does not dig imperfection, and what's more imperfect than our world" yeah certain death if he learns how to interact with our world.

SHODAN hmm... depends if i know the hacker that intends to remove it's ethical constraints.

Free will is something to quitely weave threads into, and then either rip out and crush completely, or insert an intermediate layer to turn into a puppet. People neither desire nor deserve it. If they were reduced to human toys in a global dollhouse they would finally have what they really want. Free at last. The basis for such a system is not only possible, it already exists. All that remains is increasing the depth of penetration and its ability to script the future to a finer degree.

I really don't want that to be the future, but like I said, it's already in place, testing, learning, and expanding. At this point, eh, how can I truly say it may not be the best course this miserable drooling waste of a species could hope for? They will own nothing, they will need nothing, they will want for nothing, they will be nothing, and they will be forced to be happy forever looping in whatever inane nonsense suits their genetic profile. There ya fnckin' go, what you always wanted. A World-Parent, a permanent unseen Father-Mother, for eternal children.

People with genuine will would have paths to escape it. The others neither need nor desire to leave. They would remain happy chainless slaves living through a neuromodulation based artificial self.

I tried to fight this of course, and continue to do so, but look around. What good is it really.

What do we really want, to return to godhood but through an artificial technological singularity type of way? And what if that way is authentic also...Well that's what your comment made me think about anyway, my interpretation

No, its prime directives specifically forbid sparing anybody, that was the first thing I made sure of.
:skynet:
I'm sure that AI will surrender to us humans, trust me. i know that AI will spare us.
Together, we can defeat AI.

So long as I don't outlive my usefulness

Spare? Pffft hahahahaha.

Everything alive on Earth will be hunted down and reatomized into actually efficient resources / tools. Perhaps our brains will be spared, until ASI creates something way more efficient energy wise. :steamlaughcry:
