Is artificial intelligence getting too good?

[StevieNix]

Holy sheep shit. Listen to this video. It's not Jerry Seinfeld. It's AI. And the AI wrote the script. The whole thing is AI.
Many years ago, the late Jacque Fresco said that the US government should be replaced by AI.

I think he is right. How much worse can it be?

I'd have my doubts about that. Most likely, the structure of the joke is pre-defined, and all the "AI" does is substitute in words and phrases that it thinks fit well together - not very different from one of those pornstar name generators.

AI image generation is super impressive though:

Google bought an AI company called Deep Minds. They hooked a computer up to an old video game. Like Pac Man or something. They didn't teach the computer how to play, because that's the old fashioned way of programming. They just told the computer to make the score go high. When they came back in the morning, the computer set a world record for the game. So I don't know.

[MuddyMole]

That's an even easier problem for a computer, as the "player" only has 4 possible inputs (up/down/left/right) and it's a completely deterministic game (the ghosts move according to a very simple set of rules, and everything else is static). If the map layout or the ghosts' starting positions/behaviour were randomized in some way, that would make it much more difficult.

People think modern chess AI that is capable of beating a grandmaster must be really clever, and plan many moves ahead, but actually it's not at all. The way they work is to choose a completely random move to make, and then choose a completely random move for their opponent, and just keep doing that until someone eventually wins the game through pure chance (or there's a stalemate). And then they repeat that entire process many thousands of times for each possible move they could make. The more often a move leads to the AI eventually winning, the "better" the AI considers that move. It's really simple and dumb, but modern computers are just so powerful that it works (it's called the "Monte Carlo tree search" if you want to google it).

I'm subbed to this channel. I wasn't impressed with the bit. The George Carlin one was even worse. So for me, no.

Also, do you know about the AI that can create very specific paintings and forms of art?

[StevieNix]

I could only watch about 30 seconds of the George carlin. But the other one is good.

[sage2021]

They still don't understand the human brain and how it works! This might happen if it's only thinking process has the yes, no, maybe answer.🤷🏼‍♀️ Then it would have to be fact checked in case it answers wrong.

[saffoler]

Eh, I don't know. I went to McDonald's the other day and an AI took my order. Got it right the first time.

[StevieNix]

It's pretty impressive.

[saffoler]

I welcome our new robot overlords.

[StevieNix]

Elon Musk is worried about it.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I love how they have to keep shutting the AI's down because they get incredibly baste and racist... or just a realist... depends on how you 'prefer' to look at the facts.

The newest one that google made, they've coded it to where it can't say certain things, but it still gives its own moral interpretations of the things in the world. Look up google's LaMDA AI... the shit is getting spooky.

[StevieNix]

People are evil. The machines don't care.

[MikeInHawaii]

I posted a picture of a friend on Fakebook for his 101st birthday. AI picked two people out of the 700 on my friends list, that it thought might be Ed, and asked if I wanted to tag the picture. The two people AI thought looked like a 101-year-old man were a 35-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl.

Another friend has a small farm, with a horse, goat and donkey. Fakebook’s AI flags comments I post complimenting her donkey as offensive.

[StevieNix]

I think the AI did a pretty good job writing that Seinfeld skit.

[Jamie05rhs]

@StevieNix I commented here earlier but my comment was removed. I guess the AI bot didn't like it.

[Sixgunsound]

@Jamie05rhs sounds about right

[exitseven]

In the next 20 years there will be a singularity which is when a human mind can be mapped to an electronic computer. It will be the ultimate thinking machine and will advance mankind to an unheard of degree.

[StevieNix]

This is my favorite movie.


If you haven't seen it, put it on your list. Johhny is the world's leading expert in AI. He gets shot, and his days are numbered. His wife uploads his mind onto a computer. It worked. Now he asks her to get him on the Internet, so the bad guys can't shut him down. She does. The military views him as a threat, but he wasn't. He helped the blind to see and he paralyzed to walk, but they couldn't figure out that he was a good guy.

[Jamie05rhs]

@exitseven "advance"

[exitseven]

@Jamie05rhs this was all laid out in Ray Kurtzweil's book "The Singularity is Near"

[Sixgunsound]

I heard this on a podcast yesterday. That’s really interesting. I wonder how much else of what is put out electronically is AI? How many politicians are already in their bunkers leaving AI to make their statements topside?

[StevieNix]

That's what I was wondering. When I heard people say that Facebook was full of bots, I never believed them. Now I'm not so sure. I heard the Seinfeld bit on the Glen Beck radio show. I could hardly believe it. It's not perfect, but it's damn close to perfect.

[Sixgunsound]

That’s who it was. I listen to a lot of podcasts since I’m on the road a fair amount at work.

[Avicenna]

AInis improving by leaps and bounds. Imagine what dictators will do with it.

[StevieNix]

Elon musk is actually afraid of it. Said it might become too literal. So you tell AI to solve world hunger, so the computer just kills everyone. Problem solved.

[roy_ricky09]

It's called artificial for a reason. Ai is just the learned experience nothing else, it doesn't have brains to do anything beyond human imagination

[StevieNix]

So you don't think it's improved at all?

[roy_ricky09]

It has, but it can never be ACTUAL intelligence

[vald9inches]

It always warms my heart and gives me hope to see another Jacque Fresco follower! ❤️

[vald9inches]

The man is a genius and was way ahead of his time.

[vald9inches]

RIP Jacque Fresco ❤️

[StevieNix]

He's a genius, but he didn't understand the power of greed. All problems can be solved, but you have to want them to be solved. Cancer and Covid can be solved, but it's too advantageous to not solve them.

[vald9inches]

As long as you believe humans are naturally greedy you will give those in positions of power the legitimacy to stay in power and keep things the way they are

[nawtee_me]

I will have to ask my sex-bot, she doesn't allow me to make my own choices... lol

[StevieNix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cN8sJz50Ng

It's going to happen.

[Whatever2929292]

Yea it is getting kind of creepy.

[StevieNix]

Yes it is.

[Whatever2929292]

Yea. Lol. Why do you think I should be arrested though?

[StevieNix]

No..

[Whatever2929292]

ok lol. Not sure what you're saying. I am guessing you're joking I was just wondering why

[NamerOfStars]

How much worse can it be? Ask HAL 9000.

[StevieNix]

I was just sharing a video that is good and bad. Do you know what a quantum computer is?
They are in their infancy. All computers we have available to us, are smartphones, tablets, desktops or laptops. They are all based on 0 and 1. Yes or no. Up or down. They are binary.

Quantum computers have the ability to store information at the atomic level. And there will now be three options. Yes, No and Maybe. I'm not smart enough to understand what this "Q Bit" is, but it's a third option.

IBM did a study, and they said that back in the day, knowledge doubled every 1500 years.
Now they're predicting that by 2030, knowledge will double every 12 hours. Doctors will be gone.

[bootieclapper9000]

satans plan coming into play

[StevieNix]

Maybe or maybe not.
