[Secret Agent Man]

Idiots. God isn’t “created”.

[Grey182]

The threat of AI may be overstated. The biggest AI threat is to internet search sites, because AI can search through a tremendous amount of search information and you never have to look at an ad. This destroys the Google business model. Open source AI can also get around the deranking of websites.

That has never worked out well for those beings. Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels were cast out. Babel fell and mankind was scattered. The prophets of Baal were consumed by fire.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I wonder what Mary Shelley would think of this. Will the AI creation turn on its Prometheus?

“We’re creating God,” one AI engineer working on large language models (LLMs) recently told me.

There’s one AI engineer that’s going to hell. Not quick enough, though.

I would suggest Vanity Fair amend its title as follows:

Artificial Intelligence May WILL Be Humanity’s Most Ingenious Invention (TO DATE).

[Adder]

Seems to me that AI has to have fresh ideas to grow. Otherwise it simply recycles the same things becoming “inbred”, as it were.

So maybe the human future is to be more like Borg, rather than extinct.

[I want the USA back]

No machine will ever be conscious. No machine will ever be God. In fact, no machine will ever be human.

They are created by humans and are made to mimic human actions, but they are not human. No machine can ever experience what a human experiences. It’s all simulation. The simulations are pretty good, but are not human.

I often wonder why there is such a driving force that pushes software engineers to try to create an electronic human. Why not just make a useful machine - instead of trying to make a mini me?

That’s it: Required reading for all techies: “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison. In comparison, Steven King is just the literary equivalent of spooky music and dim lighting. One page of Ellison’s short story is worth 1,000 of psycho clowns or angry puppies.

Matthew 24:24
“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

An electronic god?

[beethovenfan]

God laughs.

[Salman]

AI simulates human responses. That is a fantastic technological achievement.

But that doesn't suddenly make it smarter or more reliable than humans, let alone "God".

I diagnose a bad case of taking science fiction too seriously.

Either that, or something for wicked people to hide behind. "The AI says do what I tell you".

[ViLaLuz]

I couldn’t get past the Vanity Fair’s f-bombs. Sorry.
