Nobody who deeply thought about it seems to have any confidence that we can make safe AI, but most agree that we cannot avoid making AI, and we should try to make it safe against all odds

There is mo such thing in life as "safe". There is only an attempt to create situations where there are as many diverse options that improve life as possible. So, when one fails us, we have other paths available.

Turil, safe AI is about existential risk, not diversity of outcome. The attempt to build strong AI is a bit like trying to make a new type of nuclear power plant that has an unknown probability of blowing up the whole planet, but only if it works.

I see everything we DNA-designed beings do as aiming to generate more options, for more resiliency/fitness. Natural selection weeds out the maladaptive. So adaptive stuff is our aim. AI helps life create more options.

Yes, I see that you see it like this. But AI is a different game. AI not just a technology but Life 3.0. It is very hard to create a scenario where it won't replace us.

In my experience of evolution, almost nothing is replaced. It either evolves (generates offspring that are so much more adapted to diverse environment that they are a new species), or they stick around as useful relics. We are working to create AI that helps us do both.

In my experience of evolution, everybody goes extinct sooner or later, and the higher up the food chain, the sooner, because you have more dependencies. Everybody who sticks around for more than a few hundred million years is prokaryotic, and our species is almost done.

Yes, humans will likely evolve into something even more collaborative, resilient, flexible, adaptable. The least fit (those not fitting into the environment) die out sooner, so the most collaborative humans will be the most successful in reproducing (genes and memes).

In the same way as elephants will evolve into something agile, omnivorous and stealthy, feeding from starbucks waste buckets and silently sneaking into unclaimed economy seats to travel between airport malls
