Why I'm snarky about #AI hype of late 1. Artifice is of humans. So what's is intelligence and how is it qualified or quantified. Called smart a lot, I'm truly impossibly stupid far more often. 2. Seems limited to short term personal gain over long term human growth and unity.

I've thought more and more lately about the Warning that Frank Herbert left us in Dune about Human Primacy and technological displacement outstripping society's ability to adapt and the damage it can do. Samuel Butler was the model for his imagined "Jihad"

Interesting points I don't think that anything we create is going to kill or overpower us because of its own sentience but because we made it in the first place assuming we knew how to control it!

I’ve been playing with these AI “tools” And I use that term loosely. Regarding ChatGPT: There’s just an element of randomness and then spewing back material from a large database, but if you look at it from a critical viewpoint, The underlying substance is garbage.

I'm not impressed at all and I don't think it's intelligent if one could measure that. The art sometimes has been interesting but only so much the writing horrifies me both from prompt and the idea that it can be used in place of education is just appalling

Seems to me that the intent and hope of AI development is to seem human, to aim for the holy-grail of passing a Turing test. And that's the problem. The Turing test is wrong.

That's interesting I don't think that it's is limited in idea as Turing test I think it goes me away beyond the scope as to artificial life or the pretense thereof in other words move toward the ability to create what we think humans are cognitive physical and we don't
