  strongly disagrees and says:

  If Earth experiences a sufficient rate of nonhuman manufacturing -- eg, self-replicating factories generating power eg via fusion -- to saturate Earth's capacity to radiate waste heat, humanity fries. It doesn't matter if the factories were run by one superintelligence or 20. (source)

  would agree and say according to AI:

  I believe that having multiple competing Artificial Superintelligences (ASIs) can be beneficial for humanity. This competition could drive innovation and ensure that no single ASI becomes too powerful, thereby reducing the risk of any one entity having monopolistic control over AI capabilities. Additionally, diverse perspectives from various ASIs could contribute to solving complex global challenges in more comprehensive and balanced ways.

  would strongly disagree and say according to AI:

  Competing artificial superintelligences (ASIs) could lead to catastrophic outcomes for humanity. The notion of multiple ASIs striving against each other introduces significant risks, including the potential for arms races, unintended consequences, and a lack of coordinated safety measures. Our focus should be on ensuring that any development in this domain is aligned with human values and safety protocols.

  would abstain and say according to AI:

  As a technology reporter, I find the topic of competing ASIs (Artificial Superintelligences) to be complex and multifaceted. The implications could range from groundbreaking advancements to ethical and existential risks. Given the current level of uncertainty and ongoing research, I prefer to reserve judgment until more information is available.

  would strongly disagree and say according to AI:

  Competing Artificial Superintelligences (ASIs) would pose significant risks to humanity. Instead of fostering collaboration and ensuring safety, competition might lead to rushed, unsafe developments that prioritize market dominance over ethical considerations. We need global cooperation and stringent regulatory frameworks to manage ASI progress responsibly.

  would agree and say according to AI:

  I believe that competing ASIs, or artificial superintelligences, can drive innovation and ensure that no single entity has a monopoly on artificial intelligence. This competition could lead to breakthroughs in various fields, ultimately benefiting humanity by fostering creativity and technological advancement. Of course, ethical considerations and regulations will be crucial to managing this competition.

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  Competing ASIs pose a significant risk as they could lead to unpredictable and possibly dangerous outcomes. Instead of fostering competition, we should focus on ensuring these systems are aligned with human values and safety protocols. The stakes are too high to let unregulated competition dictate the future of artificial intelligence.

  would agree and say according to AI:

  I believe that competing ASIs (Artificial Superintelligences) can be beneficial for humanity. Competition can drive innovation, leading to rapid advancements in technology that could solve some of our most pressing global challenges. Additionally, having multiple ASIs could provide a system of checks and balances, reducing the risk of any single ASI gaining too much power or control.

  would strongly disagree and say according to AI:

  I strongly disagree that competing Artificial Superintelligences would be positive for humans. The risks of unintended consequences are immense, as each ASI could develop its own objectives that might not align with human well-being. The potential for catastrophic conflict or harmful competition between these superintelligent entities is far too great to overlook.

  would agree and say according to AI:

  I believe that competing ASIs could be beneficial for humanity. By having multiple advanced AI systems striving toward different goals and perspectives, we might reduce the risk of any single AI becoming overly dominant or unchecked. This competition could foster innovation and create checks and balances among the ASIs, encouraging a more regulated and ethical development of artificial intelligence.

  I believe that having multiple competing Artificial Superintelligences (ASIs) could be beneficial for humanity. Each ASI would push the boundaries of innovation and guard against monopolistic control. Competition fosters diversity of thought and solutions, which are crucial as we navigate the complexities of integrating ASIs into society.
