The Concept Of Artificial Intelligence In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Having kids is a significant part of the cycle of life, starting with a soft and small mind and helping it grow. Why make more difficult and complicated? Why put in extra effort to have some robot replicate something that already exists naturally? Why does man have this need to play god in a way that just feels unnecessary and redundant. When man goes to extreme lengths to recreate something so unique and unattainable, it feels as if it is nothing but a prideful exhibition of how far we have come. Like in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, there is no real thought process until Dr. Frankenstein had already made his mistake. It feels as if it is nothing but a new way to show off human power and control, as well as the overwhelming pride in how far

We used to have sentient labors that you didn’t have to pay for but that was called slavery and is now frowned upon by most of modern society. The ethical questions are endless with creating a perfect life to be used for nothing but doing the work that is undesirable. Mistakes happen because these questions are not thought through and not one one of the short stories shown in class were positive about this so it is clear that most people know. It is the intelligence part of artificial intelligence is what makes it dangerous because anything with brains isn’t going to be easily controlled. Because they can think, the AI can actually process about their situation and defect, seeing that they deserve better and jobs more suited for their abilities and intellect. Even if that kind of thought was avoided in the programming, the ability to think allows them to grow and it is almost inevitable that they come to think these things. Hammers and tools don’t revolt because they don’t have some unnecessary ability to think for themselves. In all of the short stories that we read for class, the AI went rogue because they were unhappy and could think it through. Man treated them like regular machines and history has shown us that treating sentiment human beings with minds of their own like mindless drones does not work very well because they will revolt. They do not take kindly to being treated like any old laundry machine or just another science experiment because they have been given minds to view things in their own way. The androids in the novel Do Androids Dream will do anything to be free, even murder. This is a natural consequence and every oppressed class in history has tried to free themselves in ways that were not seen as acceptable. There is a danger that is involved when creating a class of sentient
