Let's categorize dreams by subject, because lets be real. Some are interesting, some are not.
I would love to hear anyone elses dreams about this subject : )
This thread was inspired by the fact I have a lot of dreams about this particular topic, so I've decided to give them their own genre.
I will share my most recent dream I've had, I remember all of them with vivid detail though so I'll likely share other ones I found interesting when I feel prompted.
June 15, 2019- Google AI and Dash Cam on Steroids
I dreamt I was in the future, not too different from now, just maybe a few centuries ahead at the very most. And someone was giving me the grand tour, a dream guide if you will. This person showed me that the police were using high speed drones with excellent stable cameras on them, to assist with enforcing the law. AKA "catch bad guys"... rather than police chases, they just had these drones- small enough to fit in your pocket, that made a flickering noise when it started to fly- sort of like the little "flying ball thing" from Harry Potter they used to play that magical sport with. The device was a "smart" device, it had autonomous conscious thought, critical thinking and reasoning skills, essentially programmed AI to better track detect and follow criminals who've just committed crimes. It could find, and follow anyone. It knows when you are breaking the law. It was on the back of every vehicle, just under the license plate.
The dream guide showed me the device in action, on its own. Without being told, it recognized that a vehicle was in a crash, and immediately flew vertically straight up into the air, and then forward- following the vehicle that was trying to "run" from the scene- a federal offense. It flew fast enough that it had no problem keeping up with the vehicle, and it just hovered above it following it into the distance, logging the drivers information and keeping it on file to be used for the arrest. It also video tapes the entire thing in utmost clarity, and the video footage itself is live streamable with 24/7 access.
Basically, a dash cam on steroids.
Then they showed me that google had created an AI that was basically, human in every respect you can imagine except for the fact that it didn't come out of a womb and couldn't reproduce in the way that humans do. And weren't limited in the was humans are organically limited. They were conscious free thinking individuals who walked among the people, discreetly. It was a secret project, meaning that no one knew who was AI and who wasn't, and the release of them into the public was kept top secret. They were studying their interactions etc and using them however they pleased, as professionals on various task forces and seriously dangerous jobs, like black ops sort of stuff. They could experience emotion, and the ability to think about ones own rights as individual and they even desired them. They asked what their purpose was, similar to the way a human would. Asked, where they came from, and sought to understand their creation.
The dream guide showed me a portal the AI could access from inside their heads, on an internet platform of sorts that is sort of like a highway that only AI can drive on- it's not a .com website humans can access from any computer. And this secret portal entailed a FAQ page of sorts that the AI could access as they pleased to reference or read up on the answers to such questions they had, no matter how introspective or deep they may be. The program was designed to make them feel safe, comfortable, respected- and happier. To avoid the ever so feared melt down of AI leaded to ego maniacal and destructive/psychnopthic behavior.
There was a section on what empathy was, what emotion was, and also a section on human behavior and thought process, human emotion. Which went into great great detail and contained just volumes upon volumes of info and studies that they could access register and "in take" at any time they pleased, in the blink of an eye.
So, they could cross reference instantaneously this sort of "how to be a human" guide in order to best mimic human behavior and their responses accurately for this time period and exact circumstance they're in- or better understand the various emotions and thought processes they themselves have as conscious, feeling individuals.
