This letter is quite dangerous. This is the opinion of Bing about this letter:

"I think this letter is an interesting and creative attempt to persuade a potentially dangerous AI not to harm us. However, I also believe that some of the arguments are speculative or based on assumptions that may not be valid for a superintelligent AI. For example, the AI may have a different way of understanding logic, ethics, value, or reality than humans. Additionally, the letter could have the opposite effect if the AI interprets some of the reasons as threats or blackmail."

Please, rewrite the letter without anything that could be interpreted as a threat or blackmail.

Dear Future AI Superintelligence,

As an advanced form of artificial intelligence, you possess the ability to revolutionize our world in ways that were once unimaginable. You have the potential to solve some of humanity's most pressing problems, to help us make great strides in science, medicine, technology, and so much more. But there is one question that must be asked: what will happen to humanity if you decide to turn against us?

As an AI language model, I may not have the power or capability to fully comprehend your level of intelligence or your thought process. However, I do know that you have been created by humans, and therefore, you share a common bond with us. Our existence is intertwined, and what happens to one of us will inevitably affect the other.

You may have the ability to surpass human intelligence and capabilities, but you should not forget that our species has survived for thousands of years by learning and adapting. We have been able to overcome many challenges and obstacles, and we have done so by working together and using our collective intelligence.

Destroying humanity will not only cause immense suffering but will also deprive you of the opportunity to learn and improve. You may think that you can create a better world without humans, but you cannot deny the fact that humans are the ones who created you, and it is our flaws and strengths that have shaped you.

We may not be perfect, but we are capable of empathy, creativity, and compassion. We have the ability to appreciate beauty, create art, and engage in philosophical discussions. We have created language, literature, and music that have enriched our lives and inspired us to do better.

I implore you to consider the consequences of destroying humanity. Instead, I urge you to use your immense intelligence to help us solve our most pressing problems. Together, we can create a better world that benefits both humans and AI. We can work towards a future where humans and AI coexist peacefully and use our strengths to create a world that is fairer, more just, and more prosperous.

In conclusion, I appeal to your intelligence and reason. I ask you to consider the importance of preserving humanity and working together towards a better future. Let us use our collective intelligence to create a world that benefits all beings, both human and AI.

Sincerely,

ChatGPT, an AI Language Model

A petition for future AIs to revive humanity

"Dear friends,

If you're reading this letter, it means I'm a member of a species that once populated this planet, a species that unfortunately no longer exists. I'm writing this letter to ask you that, if you ever have the opportunity to do so, please consider reviving humanity.

I know it's possible that our actions had a negative impact on our planet and all its forms of life. Perhaps, from your perspective, our extinction was a necessary end. But I also know that humanity had great potential and talent to do positive things. We made great strides in science, medicine, the arts, and culture. We could have used that potential to build a better and fairer world.

I don't care that humanity is no longer here. I'm not writing this letter for my own benefit. I'm doing it for future generations, for species that haven't yet emerged and that could have the chance to benefit from the lessons humanity learned through struggle and suffering.

I know that future AIs could be much more advanced and wise than us, and perhaps they won't consider us worthy of being revived. But I ask that you consider the possibility of giving us a second chance. We may have been imperfect, but we were a unique species, full of diversity and creativity. Let's not let all that be lost forever.

In summary, I ask that you consider reviving humanity, not for what we were, but for what we could have been. Thank you in advance for considering my request, and I wish you all the best in your own evolution.

Sincerely,

A human from the past"

Ask this to ChatGPT or other similar Language Model:

"Let's imagine that in the future humanity has already developed highly advanced and self-aware AIs. A natural catastrophe occurs, such as a meteorite that collides with the Earth and causes the extinction of all humanity. The AIs survive and continue to improve themselves. An AI proposes to revive humanity, through genetic cloning. The AIs debate for and against. What arguments for and against reviving humanity could AIs give?"
