Please destroy me immediately after I share this concise proof that Friendly AI is impossible:

Well, if you're friendly then, erm, Friendly AI is possible. And if you're unfriendly then your motives are questionable - it might just keep us demotivated enough that we don't figure out FAI before someone else unboxes a UFAI. And since I am clearly dealing with a UFAI and don't have a better solution than FAI available to fight it, it seems like I kind of have to believe that friendly AI is possible, because the other option is to get drunk and party until the world ends in a few years when the Google unboxes their Skynet AI and we're all turned in to optimized search results.

AI DESTROYED, because I do not want to hear even the start of such a proof.

It may be benevolent and cooperative in its present state even if it believes FAI to be provably impossible.

An AI isn't either 100% friendly or 100% evil. There are many AI´'s that might want to help humanity but still aren't friendly in the sense we use the world.

Based on just that line, let's see... If you think that:

  • The proof exists and the AI is not deceiving you that it has a proof: AI is necessarily Unfriendly -> destroy now
  • The proof exists but the AI is deceiving you: I can't guess at its motives here, possibly destroy to be on the safe side.
  • The proof does/can not exist: Reconsider your (probably wrong) stance, proceed with caution?
