Artificial Intelligence, Machine Horror, and The Chaos Theory

Basically, the lectures on artificial intelligence and the machine horrors are somewhat discussions about the same topics, a world where robots have minds of their own and live among humans. This might not be an impossible idea in the near future, and technology are advancing at a rate which would speed up this possible outcome.

The topic on machine horror talks about how humans fear the artificial intelligence which they create, that have minds of their own just like humans, would one day surpass humans in intelligence and take over them. Whether robots should have the same rights as humans, when they become as intelligent and more aware of their own existence.

From the influences of the machine horror, a most common scenario would be having a cyber-world earth, where only robots remain and humans are completely wiped out by their own creation.

The Chaos theory actually happens everywhere, around every idea that is thinkable, it talks about how everything is connected with each other, and how one idea can lead to many different ideas. In my opinion, people have always been using an idea that originated from the Chaos Theory, which is called the butterfly effect.

The idea of the butterfly effect is that a small change can lead to drastic or many changes in the end, and people have been using this theory to speculate what the future might become, one good example would be of the Machine Horror. Thinking that humans would eventually create robots with minds that rival humans, and this would lead to the destruction of the human race as robots began to take over earth. Such ideas about the future can only manifest when applying the butterfly effect theory.

Therefore in my opinion, whenever we want to expand ideas, we would have to use the butterfly effect theory to think of all the small influences by our ideas, and think of how these small influences affect other things.
