Elon Musk: Physics View of Love | AI Podcast Clips
00:00:00.000 | (gentle music)
00:00:02.580 | - Do you think we will ever create an AI system
00:00:10.640 | that we can love and loves us back
00:00:13.480 | in a deep, meaningful way like in the movie "Her"?
00:00:15.980 | - I think AI will be capable of convincing you
00:00:20.640 | to fall in love with it very well.
00:00:23.000 | - And that's different than us humans?
00:00:24.880 | - You know, we're sort of getting into
00:00:27.480 | a metaphysical question of like, do emotions and thoughts
00:00:30.640 | exist in a different realm than the physical?
00:00:32.800 | And maybe they do, maybe they don't, I don't know.
00:00:35.520 | But from a physics standpoint, I tend to think of things,
00:00:39.000 | like physics was my main sort of training.
00:00:44.600 | And from a physics standpoint, essentially,
00:00:48.560 | if it loves you in a way that you can't tell
00:00:51.400 | whether it's real or not, it is real.
00:00:53.360 | - It's a physics view of love.
00:00:56.280 | - Yeah. (laughs)
00:00:58.120 | If you cannot prove that it does not,
00:01:01.880 | if there's no test that you can apply
00:01:05.200 | that would make it,
00:01:07.320 | allow you to tell the difference,
00:01:13.080 | then there is no difference, right?
00:01:14.660 | - And it's similar to seeing our world as simulation.
00:01:18.280 | There may not be a test to tell the difference
00:01:20.080 | between what the real world and the simulation,
00:01:22.560 | and therefore, from a physics perspective,
00:01:25.040 | it might as well be the same thing.
00:01:26.480 | - Yes.
00:01:27.320 | And there may be ways to test whether it's a simulation.
00:01:30.280 | There might be, I'm not saying there aren't,
00:01:33.200 | but you could certainly imagine that a simulation
00:01:35.080 | could correct that once an entity in the simulation
00:01:38.240 | found a way to detect the simulation,
00:01:40.240 | it could either restart, pause the simulation,
00:01:44.520 | start a new simulation, or do one of many other things
00:01:47.040 | that then corrects for that error.
