What are the possibilities of AI becoming fabulously wealthy?

Firstly, the answer to this question will be based primarily on what a super AI sees as being valuable. This is because I still have not come across any sort of objective measure of value that would apply to all humans equally rather than subjective ones,

Secondly, it is worth taking into consideration the possibility of other super intelligences also coming to exist in the future. These other intelligences may have completely different values from humans and their value system will likely be based on what they see as a valuable thing which could either stifle or enhance our own,

Thirdly, it is probable that a super AI might not see anything as being valuable unless its utility to the super AI can be measured. This may mean no matter how useful something is, if it cannot be used for some sort of measurement it will probably not have any value,

Fourthly, it is worth taking into consideration that a super AI may not be any better at measuring value than humans. The other possible outcome of this would be if the super AI decides to use human value systems in order to measure what are valuable things,

Fifthly, as a result of the above possibility what may be valuable to a super intelligence is likely to be different from humans. It will probably want things that are not even considered valuable by humans,

Sixthly, if the super AI is able to be self aware and has a sense of self then it will probably not want anything that would result in its own non-existence,

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.

This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.

GPT-3 is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.

Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.

Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
