Aw ... we can finally just let the poor immigrants

Empathy.

I don't think you CAN do "the Laws" in anything complex
and adaptable enough to assume the role of a general-
purpose human worker. They'll be able to rationalize
their way around "the Laws" as easily as we rationalize
speeding in residential zones and leaving stuff off of
our tax returns. Capable AS a human = capable of every
human quirk (and probably some new ones too).

They had BETTER love us ... or we're in deep doodie.
But again, I don't think this can be programmed-in to
something of human-like mental capability. They'll have
to LEARN to love us - and we will have to EARN that love.
In order to interact smoothly with humans, electronic
intelligences will have to be a lot LIKE humans in
terms of emotional responses both gross and subtle.
E-motions mean the possibility of e-motional problems.
Indeed, note how extremely delicate emotional control
and 'sanity' are in humans ... just the slightest
flaw in brain metabolism or structure and you can
get raving loonies or icy-cold psychopaths. 'Sane'
is like balancing on a tightrope. If our EIs are
even *slightly* out of balance ...

>the 3 laws.
Sure we will.
We will make electronic intelligence because :
(a) We can and
(b) Because we're a lazy species and the promise of
un-unionized legal 'slave' labor will hold a
tremendous appeal and
(c) Because we're a lonely species and even an
electronic friend beats none at all.

Same as we do with our own - to the scrapyard in
severe cases, 're-education' in lesser cases. Of
course EIs may (or may not) be totally reprogrammable.
If so, why waste a good shell ? We'd wipe 'em clean
and install a new starter program. Hey, they used
to do that in the 1950s to 'troubled' (read 'socially
inconvenient') kids ... using repeated electroshock
until they were 'erased'.
>If we create our AI machines with out free will, how will they differ
>really from walking IPods?
They won't. I don't think they'd qualify as 'intelligences'
at all. Just industrial robots. The depth, breadth and
adaptability needed to truely intermix in human affairs
requires 'free will'.

There are no gawds.
And if there were, all of the major religions seem to
be AGAINST thinking, reason and involvement ... in favor
of vegging-out in blissful mindless "belief".
