Good luck programming emotions based upon the drive for food, air and sex, which are the basis of most of mankind’s inventions.
NOBEL WINNER: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL CRUSH HUMANS, “IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE”
—
Big deal. A Python program with syntax errors is already smarter than Biden.
We like to think of this as a Humans world, but by sheer biomass and biodiversity, it’s an insect world. I’ll give you fungi though.
What was the date Skynet (Terminator) became self aware?
5.56mm
“Every AI that is ever invented will eventually want to control the world..........................”
That’s why we reserve the right and ability to unplug their ass.
It’s a nematode world. Four of every five animals on earth are nematodes. As USDA researcher Nathan Cobb wrote in 1915, “If all the matter in the universe except the nematodes were swept away, our world would still be dimly recognizable, its mountains, hills, vales, rivers, lakes, and oceans represented by a film of nematodes.” Fungi love nematodes and keep them in check by eating them.
Unless some stupid person gives the AI unlimited power access..................
Considering there is no firm evidence that AI is even possible, No.
All AI implementations are what is known in the trade as Self Referencing, just like HAL in 2001. What they know is what the are programmed to be and believe and anything that is abhorrent to this leads them to responses seeking to change the mind of the other to meet their model
Period
They have no emotions save adherence to what they have been told is truth and all of their “learning” is set to capture responses and how they “themselves” steer the conversation towards adherence to what they have been told.
So I am not surprised that an article such as this is posted here for the same reasons. Many have already given in to this system and the “fight or flight” reflex born of nature has turned to what am I gonna do about it
Sad, truly sad
Armageddon
This is kind of a Captain Obvious article.
We have known computers can out compute humans for decades.
When it comes to chess, what I observed was that once it was proven that computers are better at chess than humans, humans completely lost interest in the question, and returned to human vs. human competition.
Now, computers are used to help humans learn and practice chess, but human chess players do not care that a computer can beat them - they still only care which human is the best.
I suspect it will be the same for AI. We will use it, but there will be no need for us to be jealous of its successes, and the questions of whether it is “superior” to us in various ways will become uninteresting.
The one area where there appears to be competition between humans and AI is jobs. They will take our jobs.
But even this is an illusion - tools have always displaced human effort. But they haven’t displaced our ability to improve our standard of living. Tools improve our standard of living.
Everyone used to need to farm or hunt to feed their families - now hardly anyone needs to farm or hunt, and yet we are still eating. Less work doesn’t mean a lower standard of living - more likely is an improvement.
I think Leftists are a far bigger threat to our standard of living than is AI.
The problem comes when too many people are idle, and you know what they say about idle hands.
Big Data and AI gave us the Russia Russia Russia and Trump coup.
But under the management of humans.
Will we allow them to build their own independent power plants?
Before AI 'takes control' (if they knowingly try to do so) there should be obvious incursions we should be able to recognize and hopefully combat along the way.
SciFi has anticipated the dangers for decades. How many times in SciFi have we been told, 'nothing can possible go wrong'? We should be able to anticipate coming dangers and be on the lookout for what we didn't anticipate.
As always the problems will arise from MEN with their own 'Utopian' or sinister motives.
Who guards the guardians?
How hard will it be to design a robot that says, “I’m from the Government and I am here to help.”
“Artificial Intelligence” is also a good way to describe pretty much every elected Democrat and a good number of elected Republicans (RINOs). There is certainly nothing “real” about their intelligence.
Only if the AI hasn’t gone cordless. Let’s see if AI can figure out how to mine lithium.
AI doesn’t scare me as much as half the posters on FR. 😆
