Hot take of the day: "AI" as we're using the term isn't actually "artificial intelligence." It's a series of decision trees and aggregation. It can't create or invent. It can't judge or discern. Intelligence implies more than just information gathering. And we're not there yet.
AI is the most annoying buzz word of tech sales and marketing today. Not long ago, everything was touted as “smart.” Smart phone, smart umbrella, smart salad tongs. Now that smart stuff isn’t just smart, but it’s driven by ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Ooooohhhhhhhhh!!!
I think Artificial Empathy should be developed in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence. Intelligence without empathy is extremely dangerous.
That already happened and is happening. The first AI models did not filter on racism and things like that. But they've all been aligned with sentiment analysis
Not sure if you’ve seen this, it’s quite long but, I think worth a listen. AI, especially the way it will effect our society over time, is (as you say) extremely dangerous! vm.tiktok.com/ZNeKaXBX5/
Just unplug it and it's gone.
the thing I find funny is the concept of AI...it is just another computer program...not intelligent at all...only puts out info as programed...you are so right...we haven't gotten that far yet
I just need to know if its gonna turn into Skynet or not.
You're quite right, but Microsoft has announced that their latest iteration has the ability to teach itself. This is getting really alarming! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhoy...
It would be nice if we could improve real intelligence
That’s my experience with the limited #AI that an average consumer, like me, can use. But people a lot smarter than me really seem to believe that a truly **conscious** AI is the direction we’re heading. Also, the #DataCenters currently being used for AI use a tremendous amount of energy.

2. A working def tracing back to the Macy conferences mid-century w/ Margaret Mead, et al., was for collaborations among people + machines to perform beyond the capabilities of individuals. This is the only working def so far -- i.e., *always* social and cultural in context.
The trouble is that deep pockets affiliated w/ what's called the "TESCREAL bundle" have hijacked definitions, investments, publicity, discourse, etc., while injecting their subtext and priorities about eugenics, misogyny, and strongman politics in general www.dair-institute.org/tescreal/
Not really a hot take. Just a fact. "AI" is techbro marketing BS. It has never been and WILL never be intelligence in this incarnation. It's actually just machine learning. Fairly rudimentary decision tree logic, but with a gigantic stream of source data, done at mass scale, and at enormous cost.
AI can now solve math poblems better than most mathematicians It's not all "hype" There is real research being done that will fundamentally change the world [2411.04872] FrontierMath: A Benchmark for Evaluating Advanced Mathematical Reasoning in AI search.app/U2irYqg2RqP7...
AI is the appearance of intelligence, or more correctly "fake intelligence". It isn't actual intelligence, whatever that is. Sadly, AI can function in a job the same as real intelligence. For example doctors and lawyers and other database work. Through trial an error it can seem creative.
We are in a huge AI bubble.
The term "AI" has been misused for 50 years
Who hurt you, Rebekah?
It's not independent self-conscious intelligence, but because of big data and neural networks, imo _artificial intelligence_, potentially useful or destructive depending on its use. Already a very powerful tool, it will likely affect all our future lives ever more. Not necessarily in good ways.
We have long understood the hypothesis of the “infinite number of monkeys.” We now have the processing horsepower and storage capacity of an almost infinite number of monkeys.
Not actual intelligence but an incredible simulation. If the zone is flooded (GI) what do we end up with? GO everywhere all the time?
Mostly with you, but Turing had a point, too.
We have alleged homo sapiens running around that aren't there yet. Just saying.
