The Memetics of AI Successionism
JennaS16d215

Talking about memetic evolution puts me in mind of You Get About Five Words.  So in that spirit, I'd like to try making soundbites of the counter-memes above:

1.  "Let our children decide AI" "Let future people choose AI, not us" "AI Now is too soon"

2.  "Humanity has so much potential" "Normal humans shouldn't choose AI" "Max out IQ before AI" or "IQ before AI" "Even Picard couldn't handle where AI is going"

3.  "The AI you want isn't the AI you'll get"  "Nothing stops AI from being awful"

4.  "AI psychosis is just the beginning" "Satan was a flatterer too" 

5.  "AI Replacement is Literally Fascism" "History shouldn't end with AI" "Nazis thought they were inevitable too" "AI Might doesn't make AI Right"

6.  "Humans really do matter" "Love your neighbor, not computers" "AI can't replace family and friends"

7.  "You can't take AI replacement back" "As though we're in a position to permanently decide the future" "No guarantee AIs have souls" "AI can't answer life's questions"

8.  "AI replacment won't be voluntary" "ChatGPT 8 Wants Little Timmy's Atoms" 

9.  "AI replacement betrays humanity" "Does everyone you could ever know really deserve to be replaced by AI?  Even me?  Even everyone I care about?" "Me when I destroy humanity's hopes and dreams because my AI girlfriend said I'm a good boy:"

And these are just the first things that came to my mind with an hour of effort, no doubt others could do a lot better.  Perhaps referencing pieces of culture I didn't think of to sum up concepts, or just putting things more wittily.  Maybe this task should be referred to experts, or AI.

Edit:  I guess this goes in the opposite direction of Richard Ngo's point about how this represents an escalation in memetic warfare between AI safety and accelerationism.  Now I feel kinda bad for essentially manufacturing ammunition for that.
