Examples of symbiosis exist everywhere in nature. We don't need to recreate the wheel folks...<p>The "key word" here is "SYMBIOSIS". We have been myopically focused on "alignment" when what we really want is to cultivate (both from a human perspective and AI perspective) a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI. Consequentially, a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI (and AGI understanding of incentives and preference for symbiosis over parasitism) can help to establish a more symbiotic relationship between human beings and the planet.<p>Given examples of symbiotic relationships between very different organisms are prevalent in nature, pointing to this as an example paradigm for AI / AGI is much preferable than trying to push a concept of "alignment" that is not clearly defined or generally understood.
> than trying to push a concept of "alignment" that is not clearly defined or generally understood.<p>True, I have no good idea of what people mean when they say "alignment". But I also don't have a clear idea of what you mean when you say "symbiosis".<p>What is your definition of that in this context? What would it look like?
