8 0 ReplyBecause it's one thing to not shame ignorance, and quite another to entertain people who are being deliberately obtuse.
8 0 ReplyIt's certainly reasonable to offer a charitable interpretation of the question, rather than assume mal-intent.
"What would it take for an AI to be given governance over the world?"

Honesty, empathy and respect.
Good luck ever convincing me an LLM has any of those. I'm not even convinced most of humanity does.

5 0 ReplyLLMs have way more empathy and respect than humans do
Which makes sense, they're not trained on our actions - they're trained on our words

probably some way to extert real power, like if it controlled a vast sum of money

2 0 ReplyConsidering we have no consensus on what a suitable human president would be, I'm not sure how we can give parameters for a machine version.
2 0 ReplyI'm not sure that would be very difficult if we tried. The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits. By definition no human could satisfy them. But a sufficiently advanced AI might.

I disagree. The current issue is picking mutually exclusive contradictory traits.
One person will one religious freedom. Another will want a theocracy. Both of those cannot be true at the same time.

I think you'll get a better answer to your question if you ask "what would an ideal world president look like?" The qualities that make for a good human leader should be the same as that which make a good AI leader.
