That's a really interesting proposition. Load the AI and let it go wild to try to figure out how it can earn enough money to survive. Perhaps this could be the new Turing test.
It's all fun and games until the AI starts bullying and threatening it's way onto survival.
If it is a Turing Test, it’s a test if our intelligence and we failed.
The internet is a wild west of privacy, security, social and ethical holes an army of grifters routinely drive through. And in the case of some famous big firms, leverage and magnify at scale.
That is bad enough.
But setting up a horde of intelligent beings, so that those holes are their critical path to survival, is like pouring poison into the water supply to see what happens.
Can’t argue with “interesting”. It is that.
