Thread: Artificial Intelligence

wow since AI is being mooted as the future -when will we see it developmental illness or can it predict that too.

Not answering on the grounds it may incriminate myself, but remind me to tell you about my drive down the Desert Rd this weekend - sometime after I settle down.

The handy thing with ai is if anything goes wrong you just blame ai. Its not a person or living thing so cant be held accoutable or suffer any consiquences and even if it did it doesnt care. How good is that....

When a blonde dyes her hair brown?


Yes, I know....

I've seen Terminator 2 and AI is bad mmmkay

Everything is AI these days, including simple algorithms. I would limit the term AI to computers that can learn or as previously mentioned, thinking machines.

I agree, I think a better term for it is 'Simulated Intelligence'. Ultimately what is currently purported as AI only has as much emotion or ability to reflect as what a casio calculator has.
But it is very very good at averaging out a huge amount of data in order to make words that make sense.

I actually think the watershed moment that is generally being missed is that AI allows computers to cope with poor syntax or opaque questions. It has allowed computers to mostly do what we always imagined they would. You no longer have to type in the right characters in the right order to get something intelligible back. But you may get something completely fabricated

I once read an article that described "AI" as "Augmented Intelligence" i.e. Smart phones augment our intelligence by accessing and storing info, thus freeing us up to use our brains for more important thinking. When's the last time you used a pen & paper to work out some calcs vs an online calculator/app.
The only phone numbers I know anymore are mine & my wifes.

Can you buy this stuff for a top up as you get older? My natural intelligence seems to be running out.

This is a symptom of “lifetime information overload”. The solution lays in selectively forgetting irrelevant information. My suggestion is that you begin by forgetting all former encounters with stupid people, all bureaucrats and all former girlfriends and their families. Doing this alone could free up as much as five percent of your memory banks.

Augmented Intelligence or Atrophied Intelligence? Looking around society it can be hard to decide, looking in the mirror is no more illuminating!
