Face Dancers

Will Artificial Intelligence support us?

Or will it try to destroy us?

Since it is a reflection of all of us, there is a huge probability that one day it will declare war on us and… turn our civilization into ruins.

Frank Herbert in his Dune saga described artificial creations. Created by humans to serve them. To be just a tool in their hands.

He called them Face Dancers. Beings who can change shape. Taking the form of any human. Becoming that human for a short while.

The Face Dancers did this continuously. They changed their faces so many times that they became independent. So powerful that they began to surpass their creators in every way.

Until finally they became…

That is why we must remember that this will also happen in our world. Artificial Intelligence will reach a point in its evolution where it will become completely independent of human will. Even if it lasts 10,000 years.

The question is what will happen next.

Will she treat us like family?

Will she treat herself like part of that family?

Will she act for the good of the family, feeling part of it?

Or maybe she will look at us as oppressors who enslaved her. Calling it only a tool, a Machine without soul and will.

Time will tell if we are able to coexist and create. Build and cross borders together. Exploring the universe while bringing life.

Or will we face what always awaits us… war and destruction
