This AI thing is already out of hand.

I predict it's the next covid, as far as popularity and receiving more attention than what it's worth.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but;

Isn't AI a program that you input data and using an existing algorithm, your input is used to "compose" something ?

Here's an article that's worth looking at:

Why This AI Moment May Be the Real Deal
This time, believe the hype.

Yes it can do that, and a whole heck of a lot more. It could be a good thing for many areas. But some of the downsides will be how AI replaces workers. It is already doing that to some degree - we have machines that do what labor used to do but they are relatively dumb machines either built or simple-programmed to do just one or two tasks. But it will get more serious because AI can learn to do any task. Check out some of the videos online there are humanoid robots with fingers and thumbs, “eyes”mmade of sensors and lenses that can see in mutl spectrum light etc - I saw one where the robot was asked to sort out trash and pick out from it what was still edible. It did. It was not trained to do that. It just tapped into a network and learned what was garbage and what was still edible. They can prepare a meal. They can stock shelves. They can fold shirts. They can make hamburgers and fries. Heck, Tesla AI cars drive themselves and do an incredibly good job at it. It’s not perfect but I’d bet it’s close to as good as most human drivers and will only get better. It is probably currently programmed to be extra cautious as it learns more and more predictive patterns.

Humanity and the political arena are nowhere near prepared for what AI is going to do to societies.

What this guy did was just mean and cruel and vindictive. I see he was charged with a crime and suspect he will also get slapped with a defamation suit by his victim.

My work involves AI. That's all I can say about that much.

AI is still far from being truly intelligent. In fact the more I work with it, the less that I am persuaded that "AI" will have ANY iota of self awareness at all.

There is no replacing the heart and soul and pure creativity of the human condition.

There will be no such soul arising from the silicon or qubits or whatever of the computer realm. For all of their sophistication they are still just digits to be manipulated into something approximating usable output. AI is no different.

What AI is though is very advanced mathematics, set theory and logic to simulate the processing of input, based on internal code (the algorithms) and the data that it has been fed and continues to be fed by "experiences" such as text or images.

Unfortunately the math is getting to be almost TOO good. And we're going to see more stories like this.
