Hi Spike

You can discuss this with AIs. They will not solve the issue, but they will highlight all the problems.

Some selections from several discussions with DeepSeek AI below.

BillK

 

DeepSeek 4.1 AI:

Consider the bad guy with the knife in Stuart’s video.  The robot jumps up to defend the young lady.  Cool!  But how does the robot know which of the two in that “conflict” is the bad guy?  When he sees the bad guy coming with the knife, he doesn’t pull out his own knife and stab the young lady.

 

Regarding the subsequent video where the robot kung fu kicks the child, did you notice the body language of the robot after the apparently accidental kick?  He seems to exude a vibe that says Oh shit, now I dunnit, I am gonna sooooo get reprogrammed.

 

I don’t know BillK.  I can’t offer any good argument that AI will align with humanity.  We are too unalignable-with.
