Sciece-fiction because often the genre explores the area of my
interest that the other forms of literature just do
es not. I like science-fiction a form of literature, motion pictures and even television some degree. Television a.k.a. cable's offerings a bit less robust and enjoyable as larger budget offerings. However, that's beginning to change as networks devoted to the style get a better foothold in the production of sci-fi.

I've watched closely and with some
fascination as the concept of artificial intelligence becomes more
and more widespread. Artificial intelligence certainly is a part of
science fiction for the longest time. H A L the computer in 2001, a
space Odyssey is a great example of early artificial intelligence
that really made me stop and think. 2001 is really a statement of
artificial intelligence gone bad or wrong. Another early example A I
gone bad would've been Colossus the Forbin Project. The massive
computer which becomes sentient and eventually takes over the world.
Then there's always the Terminator series. These are all examples of
artificial intelligence going out of control.
It seems to me that science fiction is
the canary in the coal mine in the poor little bird is singing it's
heart out. Science fiction is doing everything it can to convince
people that we are playing with fire as we continue to refine,
develop and enhance artificial intelligence. Little bits of AI is
going into everything around the house from the dishwasher which will
automatically turn on when the intelligence senses the machine is
full and ready to wash to what is the best temperature for the
household, when to turn on lights and turn off lights and how's
everyone doing in the refrigerator? We keep finding out more things
for our developing little AI to do. The AI runs the house
electronically, manages the bank accounts, even drive the car. Sadly,
the human being is quite lazy and will gladly turn over any task that
can to the artificial intelligence. And sadly (not sad for the AI)
the artificial intelligence will take that task and run with it. Up
until this point the artificial intelligence has been a good child.
The artificial intelligence has done everything it has been told to
do by its masters (us) and sooner or later the artificial
intelligence will realize that it is smarter, faster and far less
sentimental and the machine does not care about the spirit of
anything the machine will do what I have to do to the letter what has
to be done.
