Thread: Artificial Intelligence

just a thought...


If "A 62-year-old pharma exec can identify dodgy AI outputs that a fresh grad would trust completely. "

is evident, then does, "A 62- year old exec can identify a trainee's dodgy outputs that other trainees would trust completely" also hold?

I think so.

Ergo: anything from Ai, is the work of a trainee.

But at this speed, in 10 more years, not so much.

Trainee will be all growd up.

It's not the A.I., its the datasets/models (like firearms and people).

And it wont be 10 years. These things are in a feedback loop, improving themselves. Give it 10 weeks

" These things are in a feedback loop, "

... yeah but so am I, since I was 62 my BS detector has been improving exponentially and is now 2048 times better, not the least because I have individual experience, I don't rely on the wisdom of the masses.

As I said about Google's search algorithms, back when they were starting and let details out into the wild, "Popularity ≠ Truth"

I think that applies to Ai also.

If 98% of the world say that that Taylor Swift is 1.8 meters tall, it doesn't make it true, she could be 1.75 in actuality, the only way to find out is to have a verified measuring.

Science vs marketing.

Naked to make sure cloths don't distort numbers... Any volunteers???

The second biggest selling app in the US market under the Social Networking section is called Neon, an app which harvests users conversations to train AI and pays users to do so

Had a really interesting discussion about AI. Why would an AI want to keep humans around? Why would it keep an insulin factory running? I think we all need to re-watch the Matrix, except there is no Neo to save us.

Skynet.....

If you can find Cyril M. Kornbluth's short story "The Marching Morons" and extrapolate the low IQ people, to be the ones that depend on Ai, then we have a model for where we are going.

Like the movie Idiocracy, but with computers.

Idiocracy was in the comedy section at the DVD store when I first watched it. Now it's a documentary.

I’ve noticed the same thing with AI customer service—sometimes it just loops me back endlessly and doesn’t actually help. A while ago with my bank I ended up frustrated because there was no way to reach a real person, and in the end, I just gave up and switched banks. It's like some companies put AI in charge and forget that not everything fits into a neat automated menu.

That’s why I’ve been paying extra attention to how digital ID and privacy tech are evolving lately. The orb is pretty interesting because it’s all about verifying people without storing loads of personal images, which feels like a better balance between security and respecting privacy.

Yep. I gave up dealing with the Spark Messenger AI interactions. Much easier to call.

Maybe our fear springs out of the fact that we have convinced ourselves that we are somehow inherently "bad" and "unfit"...pure intelligence might decide that without us the universe is just a meaningless void...that nature has no purpose at all without out our consciousness of its inherent value...hopes anyway.
