Quit bloody well anthropomorphizing AI, and half your bloody problem is solved. Quit making the AI -want- to do things, and it won't do things you don't tell it to do, and you don't have to figure out how to make it not want to do those things. You still have the problem of it doing things you told it to do, granted.
We can make AI that doesn't want to do anything. It will just sit there and do nothing. Not very useful.
Getting an AI to produce useful output is the hard part of FAI.
"Useful output" is easy; indeed, we keep redefining the word "AI" because we keep achieving what we set out to do.
Indeed. Weak AI can do a lot of useful things. But that's not what this post is about at all.
I'm talking about AIs which are much smarter than humans, and having them do tasks which are very open ended. Like writing scientific papers.
