We seem to be fixated on the AI as destroyer narrative, which I understand, but I like to think that for all of our doomsaying, we would ultimately find a way to create an Artificial Intelligence that, while different and foreign to us, is benevolent or indifferent to a point.
I think of the Octopus, which according to my fiance presents a similar level of intelligence to us despite being a solitary creature. So difficult for us to understand for that reason, because if they had developed as a pack oriented creature with the ability to walk on land, they would likely be the dominant species.
But they have no interest in it, from what we know.
But then I am likely butchering the topics we've discussed thus far, so don't take me as an expert in octopus intelligence.
My fiance is remarkably well read on marine life, though, and I trust their judgement on these things.
