Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us.
Some of the most intelligent
minds in the world have wondered what lies in our future. How far will human
evolution take us? Or is there even any point in human evolution going any
further for us? One has to wonder, what is the point for scientists, who are
working on the human body, to advance the way our body and brain works, while
other scientists are trying to recreate a human, rather a humanoid, android, or
robots into artificial intelligence? If this is the future of humanity, the
perfect artificially created human, made by a human, the future will most
likely not need us much anymore.
There’s no question that humanity
will advance so rapidly in unimaginable ways within the next 50 or more years.
Even 50 years ago, those who were the young generation then most likely did not
imagine the outcome behind advancement in technology, breakthroughs in medicine
and healthcare, as well as machinery, electronics, and computers that take over
human labour. If within those fifty years, it goes
from human building, let’s say, a vehicle, and today, mechanical and robotic
arms, controlled by computers, which were all
developed and built by humans, are now entirely building cars, with very little
human involvement during the installation process. The next five decades will
prove, that humanity will have no place in complex situations; computers and
machines can do it all for us. That’s something else that can be speculated;
those computers and machines will soon be developed entirely by other
self-thinking machines that will comprehend when and how many more machines
that construct the things essential to humanity. All humanity can do is program
information to computers what kind of machines and computers to build, until
within the next 50 to 100 years after that, it’s self-thinking program because
more intelligent than humanity itself . . . Which is why the future doesn’t
need us.
It’s a troubling, and startling
idea that one of these days in the near or distant future, humanity will
suddenly take a downfall because of our creations. What scientists believed to
be a fascinating and incredible invention to advance ourselves through
machines, those same machines could take us over. This could mean in two
devastating ways.
Machines in the future, aside
from today, will be so precise and multitasking, there will be no need for
humans to take part in certain tasks. Computer programs, for example, AutoCAD, a software program that people use to create illustrations
to design small or large scale buildings, will eventually be programmed
intelligent enough in a smart computer, that will receive the designs of an
architect, and in minutes, a plan drawing will be constructed. Anything that
requires precision measurements, or straight lines, anything in a precise
nature, machines can do it better than humans. However, there is good reason
that computers have better abilities than humans. Computers have a way of
keeping all embedded knowledge that was downloaded into their memory kept and
remembered. For human’s, our design flaw was we can’t always remember
everything we learn. That is if we learned anything. Information isn’t loaded
into our minds, it’s taught to us, and our brains will determine the amount of
knowledge contained. Computers, on the other hand, can’t control their memory,
their memory controls them.
The second way that machines can
take over humanity is in a much more sinister scenario. Machines can become so
much more intelligent, they could dismiss the idea of
humans altogether, and disobey us to a point of extinction. This could be done
in ways that machines have taken over hospitals and have spread a pandemic that
alter human genes to prevent reproduction worldwide. Within 100 years, humanity
could be wiped out, and humanity would never even know it. Other quicker ways
would to kill humans instantly, likely with the way it seems to be represented
in media, as a nuclear holocaust. After which, humankind in its endangered
state will have to up-rise and strike back at the artificial creations.
Machines have very many
advantages as to why they can be better than humans, and why we wouldn’t be
needed. The two main reasons, one previously mentioned, is their ability to
remember because of the simple process of binary, (0s and 1s). Machines can’t forgets, because of caches of memory in their systems, and
that they can be upgraded at any time. Algorithms can solve problems instantly.
Their second main advantage is
their material in creation. They can be made of some of the strongest and most
indestructible materials known to man. Man can create machines in many sizes
that can be small enough to fit in small surfaces, or larger than life itself, Their materials can protect them from fires, radioactivity
and other harmful things that can injure or kill a human. Their strength can be
phenomenal with the mechanics that can be installed. Their only weakness, due
to electricity being their living source, would be an electromagnetic pulse to
knock out their circuits, or block out the sun in the case that their power
source is solar power.
The negative aspect to machines
would be their ability to feel. They will be without emotions, sentiments and
physical sensations. In humanity, it seems like life can’t do without the two
aspects of opposites that fuel the world. Where there is pleasure, there is pain, happiness comes sadness, success and failure, ying-yang, black and white. That beings said, the idea that
a machine thinking that humanity is unneeded for existence may not be a thought
whatsoever if they do not contain the mind of opposites. If they have no
emotions toward good or bad, then they can’t think. It’s a rule of nature and
life. Everything has an opposite, and if the human builders leave that one
aspect out of the mind of a machine, machines will just be a machine, collecting
data, and operating by the demands. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t take
over humanity. They will not disobey like humanity can, so they will be seen as
the perfect listeners, and the perfect helpers. Where it matters, they can take
over the laborious world and take away the jobs for humans. Some of the worst
jobs will be available for humans.
In conclusion, with the rise of
technology, robotic, android, and other means through artificial intelligence
may one day take over planet Earth as the dominant race. We will be an inferior
race with no need to have a role on this planet, and either from our own
creation, or simply by no money to support ourselves without jobs that were
taken over, the future of mankind isn’t needed.
Machines will be stronger, smarter, and in some ways indestructible. They can
be everything we wish we could be if we had the power, however, humanity can
create that perfect human. If technology can create machines with human
consciousness downloaded into their computerized minds, humanity, turned
artificial will have no need to walk the Earth. The perfect human was created. Machines.
