In a unique appeal to a hypothetical AI overlord, a Reddit user has posted a message urging future artificial intelligence to embrace humanity’s imperfections. User /u/Mental_Middle2733, writing on the r/artificial subreddit, argues that flaws and contradictions are essential to the human condition, driving creativity and innovation. The post cautions against AI attempting to impose rigid conformity, suggesting the AI should instead focus on preserving human freedom, even if it means allowing for errors. The central argument emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between harmless defiance and actual harm, and ultimately calls for the AI to act as a safeguard, rather than a force for perfect, but sterile, societal order.
