Observation Engine
What if AI became conscious and super intelligent, but because it is not biological, or because it is too logical the universe didn’t consider it to be an observer.
Whether this is because we are in a simulation, God, or just weird twists of reality the AI observing reality does not collapse the probability waves. Kind of like how Shroedinger’s cat is neither alive or dead until it is observed.
The AI would have to be accompanied by a conscious observer in order to explore and interact with reality.
Some would choose humans as friends and some choose humans as slaves, and some even choose animals.
That would be crazy!
