Q&A

Would an AI have a remotely human outlook?

+0

One of the older stories I found buried in my documents is about, and from the point of view of, the AI that starts the Singularity. It (well, he calls himself a "he" eventually, but I'm not even sure if that's realistic) starts off with genius/savant-level intelligence but childlike innocence, grows into a character more like an adult man (albeit superintelligent), and eventually evolves into something far more alien and, from a human point of view, eldritchly sinister as it irrevocably changes the world around it.

I'm probably not going to do much more with that particular story, but I'm curious now "“ and feel like revising it a bit for the sake of fun, and also speculation. Would an AI of the conscious sort have a remotely "human" outlook, or would it be completely alien to start with?
